Naples Favorites

Favorite thing: Naples is very different from northern Italian cities .

There are three main attractions::
( 1) Pompeii - easliy accessable by train and worth the trip
(2) the Blue Grotto - never went so there is no comment to be made
(3) Pizza's
Neopolitan Pizza's are the best , No agruement.
There are three to try :
Margherita
Pizza Alla Napolitana ( tomato and basil )
Calvone - This one is number one.

Favorite thing: In Piazza del Plebiscito try to walk, with a blindfold on your eyes, from the point where I took the pic to the statue in the middle in front of you; when you'll think to have reached it open your eyes and you'll have a surprise!!
..try it!!!

Favorite thing:







to my A'



Thank you Naples



You opened wide those arms to me



welcomed me, a guest



with a gift



I bask within your warmth



maybe momentary



but still I hold within


a life time of feelings



enough to feed



the most barren heart



reflected perhaps


engaging the rose tinted concept



where happiness within



deny's negative perceptions



Love walked in Naples


and looked me in the eye



kept respectful distance



then sadly said good bye


Ti amo

Fondest memory: I miss my neopolitan man

Fondest memory: Arriving in Naples after a long train journey from Venice. It was an incredible feeling to actually arrive having already seen many spectacular places en route.

As soon as we got off the train in Naples Central Rail station I was immediately struck by the difference in the people compared to the north of the country. There were many more beggars and our tour guide warned us not to leave any bages unattended.

Favorite thing: Pompeii is interesting, but I wouldn't say you have to check it out. Herculaneum is just like Pompeii, but smaller in size, and better preserved. I prefer Herculaneum to Pompeii, but then again, when I checked out Pompeii, they'd taken all the ash guys to a museum. Boo. Anyway, if you're into history, check out one of the two, but if you're not that big into things you've seen a million times in magazines, books and on t.v., it doesn't get too much more impressive in person.

Favorite thing: Go to the sea terminal, put your back to it and line up a snap like this one.

I really enjoyed that Naples-- seems to be such a lay back kind of place........Sure you have the traffic and the hordes of people but it seems to me to be a lot more sedate than Rome. That was my impression anyway.

Fondest memory: I haven't really seen enough to have that kind of attachment, but I am prepared to get one when I next visit.
