I loved my little Neapolitan nest in Napoli. I was concerned its location in the traditional narrow lanes may be hard to navigate and be overwhelming for a solo traveller. Not so. A taxi brought me almost to the door from the central station. It is also a two minute walk from the main thoroughfare Via Tribunali, which connects you easily from one side of town to the other. The apartment is in a block with a central, echo chamber courtyard where life of the residents plays out – better than Days of our Lives Italian style, with accompanying very loud, fiesty voices – a Neapolitan community. Thank goodness they give those megaphone voices a rest when bedtime comes and peace descends on our block. During my three days I got to see our hosts Italo and Gino several times, which is most unusual for an independent apartment – and I enjoyed their warmth and welcome. I am a big fan of getting my bearings with the help of the red, double decker buses – CitySightSeeing Napoli this time. It can be hard to find the bus stops in a new city. Our closest is at the Piazza Dante – 5-7 mins walk – wait at the busy metropolitan bus stop to the far right of the plaza. There is no official red bus sign, but don’t worry they will stop if you wave at the bus. Or you could march further down towards the harbor and find the central No. 1 stop at Piazza Municipio where you can interchange between the red line (city central) and the blue line (gorgeous Bay of Naples panoramico!) Naples is my favourite city in Italy – I am sad to leave – “Oh sole mio!”
