The Amalfi Coast and Rome (now with photos)

We've had some internet connectivity issues over the last couple of days, which I suppose is part of the charm of being in Italy. In that time we have spent two nights on the Amalfi Coast (south of Naples) and two nights in Rome. On the travel day between Praiano and Rome we stopped at Pompeii. My main recollection from my previous visit there, in August, is of intense heat. My previous impression was correct. Even without the volcano, I think that the Roman residents would have been incinerated in the summer. The photos below are from Praiano. In the first one, our (ludicrously expensive) hotel is in the foreground and the town of Positano is on the other side of the bay in the background.

This is the interior of the "House of the Tragic Poet" in Pompeii (famous particularly for the Cave Canem mosaic at the entrance).
