Pompeii and Circumstance

Rainy morning but find a taxi to the railway station, the legendary haunt of gypsies, thieves, pickpockets and all sorts of lowlife. Somehow we manage to escape without being robbed and/or knifed. We meet our guide "Ricky" Ricardo who guides us expertly around the highlights and the low lifes of Pompeii. Spoiler alert: it doesn't look anything like the movie.










Then back to town where we are fortunate enough to be entertained on the train by a local gypsy band.
Pizza


and gelato for lunch, then back to our digs for siesta time.
In the evening we go out to the Umbero restaurant for a very typical meal.





Find a Casa Infante gelato bar where I can indulge in my new favourite flavour, Pistachio and orange peel.
