Having survived a day of walking to exhaustion in Pompeii and Herculaneum it was time to take it easy and relax in Naples. Enjoying a well deserved sleep in I spent the rest of the morning looking up flights from Naples to London. I knew the longer I left booking my ticket the more expensive it would be, the problem was I just couldn’t bring myself to hit the buy […]

This was of course Giardini di Boboli. Suzy […]
