looking down to Naples that line, is the hardened surface of the lava flow steep walk up red earth Naples under the cloud on the coastline first look of the crater and we are so high that we are walking in the clouds clouds rolling over the crater looking down to the Sorrentine Peninsula  Pompei down there poor Jacqui, her knee is giving in on her ( bloody stairs from Barcelona ) that little bit of cloud there, is not cloud , but steam, so she is still active ? Asleep ? Last look at the jaggedness, then we head back down and drive for another 4-5 hours to cross to the other side of Italy, coast to coast :-)
