On Friday 13th April we left Casale Monferrato and travelled south to Genoa where we saw this interesting old ship.
We stayed the night of 13th April on the shores of the Med just outside the village of San Rocco in Liguria.
The Aire at San Rocco.
On Saturday 14th April we travelled east into the mountains of Tuscany and stayed at Equi Terme where there were (not very) hot springs, marble quarries and this impressive limestone gorge.
On Sunday 15th April we visited Pisa and marvelled at it's famous leaning tower!
This tower is really something else.
We stayed that night at Marina de Cecina where we got to go to the beach for the first time on this trip.
On Monday 16th April we stayed at Marina di Grosseto - beautiful pine woods leading down to the Med.
As well as pines there are also a lot of palm trees round here
On Tuesday 17th April we were on the coast just west of Rome at Ladispoli where there is this interesting ruined tower on the beach.
Wednesday 18th April saw us at Latina just south of Rome which is a big kite surfing venue from all appearances! We stayed in a car park just back from the beach. There was a huge thunderstorm in the night.
Today Thursday 19th April we moved on to Bacoli, just north of Naples were we visited this castle.
Surfing is very popular round here.
One of many great views from the castle. You can see the volcano Vesuvius which engulfed Pompei 2000 years ago from here. Also you can see down to the Amalfi Coast.

A great blog!! Really enjoying the many pics that you are managing to take. Seeing Pompeii and Vesuvius reminds me of being there about 15 years ago, the last time I was abroad! Keep up the good work we are reading and devouring everything!
