Molo di San Vincenzo Light

This station at the end of the mile long Mole di San Vincenzo, the main breakwater for the harbor of Naples was established in the early 1900s, but this actual lighthouse was built after WWII. A taller tower was destroyed during the war. It was inactive for a time in the 70s because it was damaged by a storm, but has been reactivated. It does not appear that one can walk the mole. Site and tower closed

Hotel Londra &; Ambasciatori (our hotel)

Bob and I took a trip to Capri because I was writing a paper on it for the Famous Writer's School Non-Fiction writing course. It was too rough to go to the Blue Grotto, and I don't apparently have any photos taken there.

Monday, 17 August​

We both left Naples and I took the train to Frankfurt. Bob put me on the train to Rome, which was so crowded that I could feel the underwear lines of the people sitting next to me (we were four in a seat for 3).

The train from Rome was overnight and I had a couchette. There was a US soldier on the train who had bought a plastic jug of wine, which had split, and he was trying to get everyone to drink it up for him.

Tuesday August 18th​

I flew home from Frankfurt after 5 weeks in Europe. My cousin met me at the train and drove me to the airport where I met the other people who had been on the charter again.
