Night location: Rome, Italy Song of the Day: So many Nights - The Cat Empire Mumisode of the Day: Demonstrating her gelato licking technique in a restaurant in Rome. Twice! Yesterday was the most spectacular day! After breakfast we were advised by the hotel manager to make our way down the Via Krupp to the Marina Piccola for a swim in the best local beach on the island.

(while looking exhausted after we'd gone down the third dead end in Pompeii). The day began with breakfast at home; we had purchased pastries, cereal and fruit in the market the night before.
