That is Amoré

Day 3: Napoli

What a dump! Napoli is so disgusting and dirty and smelly. Definitely not what I was expecting. It reminds me of Mad Max. We got in around 6 am and the town was pretty much deserted. It seemed like the only life stirring was the hobos and screeching birds. We got to the hostel and dropped off our bags and went exploring. It was pretty tough finding a place to eat, even the afternoon but we booked a ferry to la Isola di Capri. Thank goodness we got out of Napoli! Capri was so beatiful. It was pretty touristy but the experience and scenery was well worth seeing quite a few Americans. We took a boat to the Blue Grotto which was breath taking. That was well worthing visiting. We had to get on a speed boat to take us around the island then a row boat into the grotto. Randomy we ran into some fellow Ithacans in the Mediterranean. We stayed on Capri through sunset (which of course was AWESOME). We were pretty knackered by the end of the day so we turned in early. Leaving dirty old Napoli and heading for Rome tomorrow!

Peace,
