Naples gave the world pizzas, and after that we can't say much else. The city is covered in rubbish all over the streets, it is obviously the poor relation in Italy. A person we met said that the mafia had the contract for the rubbish collection??? They obviously forgot the part about doing what they are paid to do. Aside from the filthy streets, we had some really lovely food here.
I also managed to buy a pair of D & G and a pair of Gucci sunglasses for just 9 euros! A bit like the genuine fake adidas gear in Asia...
Visited Herculaneum (Erculano) and Pompeii, both similar, but Pompeii is a much larger site. It is amazing how intact, and the scale of the structures they have uncovered over the years. The work is still going on at the sites.
We are currently writing this at a B&B in Candela, half way across to Bari where we will catch the ferry to Dubrovnik. About to have a weeks break before launching into our Eastern European odyssey. We both need to just put our (tired) feet up.
