Hot, hot, hot!

I can't tell you how hot it is here. Summer has arrived early and Naples is in meltdown. The heat seems to sap your energy and after a couple of hours it's time for a nap. None of this is helped by my current work conditions, a big airless room with out functioning airconditioning.

And, it was last Sunday that Gi and I decided to go up the Vesuvio Volcano and climb the crater. What you don't realise is that the volcano is itself giving off a whole lot of heat, so by the end of the day I'm sure I was suffering from a touch of sun stroke.

One of my favourite friends arrived on Tuesday with her sparkling new husband in tow. Kylie-Ann is an avid reader of this blog. Thank goodness she is currently travelling around the world as my posting has been very irregular of late with my work schedule and constant desire to nap.

Here are some photos from the top of the Vesuvio and from the last couple of days with KA and Brian at the Amalfi Coast and dining out.
