Napoli Italy

Naples Italy…….Nov 18


City of my maternal ancestors, city of filth and garbage. I don’t have much good to say about Naples. The surrounding mountains and bay are spectacular. It makes NYC look immaculate. After getting off the ship we were attacked by taxi drivers wanting to take up on expensive tours. 90 euro to Pompeii the train 4,20. Any how one very old man came up to me and started talking in Italian. When I responded in English he yelled at that I did not speak Italian. I knew enough to yell back and make him laugh. Another guy wanted to take me to the fish market the boats were just in. What did he think I was going to do with the fresh fish?

We walked 35 min to the circumversuvensia train station and headed to Pompeii. This is said to be the most dangerous train in Italy? We spent 4 hours exploring Pompeii and only saw a very small part of it. Again a spectacular site that everyone should see. They have dogs that roam the streets there. Dogs have always been welcome in Pompeii. It was sad at first but they do not look to be mal nourished, in fact they look well feed. All were very friendly. The even have a website where you can adopt a dog from Pompeii. One order for an English bulldog placed. Of course it will speak Italian.

Only the pictures can describe this site.

On return to Naples we tried to find a place for pizza among the garbage piles. Once place the owner chased a man out throwing cheese at him…..Pass. Next place….Maffia city…..Pass. Finally a nice place Ah rest our aching feet. Waitress took forever….thank god because I looked and wallet only 10 Euro. No don’t take credit cards. NO Pizza!!!! Kicked to the garbage pile in the street. There was a down pour…… TAXI>>>>>>>>SHIP LUNCH>>>

!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALMOST MARTINI TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Don’t get me wrong It was a really Fun day
