We arrived in Naples on 22 February and immediately commenced buying all the hats, cameos and gloves we could afford. Tour parties left daily for Pompeii, Amalfi, Sorrento and Rome. The Bay of Naples was an introduction to the many wonders awaiting our travelers, who discovered that Pompeii still lives, as they viewed her chariot tracks, her erotic and political wall scribblings, and her lava Lencrusted human forms.They also found in Rome all of the beauty and magnificence they expected from the Roman Forum, The Vatican, the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Palatine and the Catacombs. Those who remained in Naples enjoyed just sharing a pizza or two with an attractive sig- norina at The Snake Pit . Reluctantly we left Italy on the 25th - but France beckoned. Our bus stops on The Apian Way before the gates of Rome. Everette, Deanes and Colombo pause along the Amalfi-Sorrento coast. l Watch for the pigeons when crossing Piazza Plebescito in Nap- les! This view of the Colosseum, built in 80 AD, clearly illustrates the governmental restoration efforts. ,

We anchored in the picturesque har- bor of Villefranche on 26 February. Everyone was determined to have agood time during our short stay on the Riv- iera. Unfortunately we were out of season for Bikinis, as was reported by those who traveled a few miles down the Cote D'Azur to beautiful Nice, sometimes called the capital of the French Riviera, to look for scantily clad mademoiselles, Tours were run along the coast, to the perfume factories at Grasse, through the Maritime Alps, and even through the famous Casino de Monte Carlo. We were indeed sad when we departed for Barcelona on the 28th. Left: the arcade which houses the Municipal Casino in Nice., Along the waterfront in Ville- franche. We can see the Division at anchor. The Mayor of Nice and a Pro- vincial official return the call of the Commodore while in Ville- franche. Two of the crew leave an open- air restaurant and stroll along the landing in Villefranche. fewer- '
