Well, I am having a great time, and have just got free wifi, but tomorrow when I go onto Sorrento, it will be charged for at the hotel.

Good afternoon on London, last Saturday, and enjoyable theatre, a real old fashioned farce.

Eurostar pretty full on a Sunday, it seemed to be full of Yankees doing Paree for the day.

Paris great, as I was staying with friends, so no street plans and Metro map to worry about.

Did you know that the Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte in his vanity, started to build a road in Milan that would have gone in a straight line from the Duomo, via a Medieval castle nearby, a new Triumphal arch, ( he didn’t last long enough to see it!!) in a straight line , over the Alps?… to Paris. That gives you an idea of the scale and design of Milan. And smart smart smart.

Naples on the other hand is full of life and litter, the tiny streets in the Historic area, where I am staying are reminiscent of Hanoi, you look straight into people’s front room, may have the family bed in it, or their car. Where but a truly devout Southern Italian city , would the shops that you buy cots, prams nursery furniture be, but in the street with the church of the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary is. Via Duomo, what do you buy?…… You buy your wedding dresses there, of course.

Where too, would every other per-pubescent youth look as if he comes straight out of a Carravagio painting.

So off tomorrow to Sorrento, no more culture, just walking, time to rest the brain.
