After a smoothly organised pick-up by Carlo at the airport, we received some interesting pointers of the city during the drive over. We were warmly welcomed by Connie in the tastefully designed and spacious apartment in the historical centre of beautiful Napoli. With 35 degrees C, the airco felt like heaven 😉
The beauty of this marvellous city lies in the (past) grandeur, the somewhat lesser interest in having it at 100% and the hectics of the the honking scooter community and crazy car drivers. Despite all this it all went strangely well organised. In this part of the neighbourhood we see the real ancient Italy : very small “roads”, people shouting to each other, drying clothes everywhere and an abundance of little restaurants. We had delicious fish and of course the best pizza ! 30 meters and 3 steep stairs down or up… and we where in the Toledo shopping street. Metro / train in and out and we were connected to the rest of the town / Pompeii/ Mount Vesuvius (35’). So much to see that you would need a week. Unfortunately we only had 3 days. Good thing is that we will come back one day and maybe we will stay in Dante’s House, where we got the opportunity to leave a bags for the last day and we received the friendliest welcome ever!
What can I say after a long lock down: just great, nothing more nothing less !
Thanks !!
