@saab,
Wow - did both crossword puzzles, the marina and Venice, and I'm exhausted and slightly cross-eyed! Haven't done a crossword for many years - but they were fun! Thank you.

Here's a neat photo - I've never been to Napoli, alas, but have read lots about it over the years.

Multiple bolts of lightning illuminate the sky over Mount Vesuvius in the Gulf of Naples, Italy. The dramatic photograph was taken by British tourist Richard Stoodley from his hotel balcony using a basic camera.
