I can see why Agrippina was a fan of this view (imagine the ugly modern flats aren't there)

Beautiful morning here in Baiae. Admiring the view Pliny had across the bay of Vesuvius.

So long Rome- you've been chaotic but fun. Now loaded on a coach and heading for Sorrento

This is as close as we can get to the Colosseum tonight as it turns out the Pope is there
