Docked in Naples this morning and got on our tour bus at 9. We rode through Naples and up and up the hills along the coast for a view of the town of Pozzuoli and the Isle of Capri. Saw steam rising from a caldera in the distance.

Sailed into Corfu this morning and went on a bus tour and then walked through the old town. Alesa bought a sun hat and a pouch for around her waist or over a shoulder. I got a chance to visit the spa on the ship. It has a very large hot tub plus a jacuzzi.

When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. And that's what we've been doing as our lemon tree is full of lemons. We also continue to give a lot to the neighbors.

It's finally October, the September love bugs are gone, the muhly grass has turned purple and it's only a month until our Mediterranean cruise. We have done all of the pre-cruise requirements with Viking and only have a couple of 'doctor' things to do.

Ian missed us and stayed to the south. It was a bit windy through the night and we got a couple of inches of rain but we got a good night's sleep and everything is good this morning.
