This was Caden's 15th birthday - he was not happy about being in Naples. It's a moody city in parts and very busy, lots of graffiti and the hill we walked up to get the funicular was literally a dog shit dodging walk to the top - which really didn't impress the kids at all! I have to admit, that in between them shouting that it was all my fault they were here, I found the whole thing quite funny! The humour keeps one afloat at times like that!
We found a castle that was pretty cool at the top of that hill, it was more of an exploration so I am glad there was something worthwhile going to at the top! :)
Very cool views of the whole city from the top.
A tasty wrap in a restaurant that we found.
My friend Manu told me about a very cool art gallery that was worth visiting, he was right, it was one of the highlights.
We also got the circumvesuviana round to Pompeii - it's so easy to travel by train in Italy, I love the public transport system in most of Europe - there is literally no need to do anything else.
We got the bus up to the top of Vesuvius but as we hadn't booked tickets in advance we weren't allowed up! The kids had been before, they werent' bothered but this is new, it wasn't like that the last couple of times I visited.
When we arrived in Naples, we found a place doing traditional Naples pizza, the tradition is to do them rather undercooked, almost a little soggy, which is weird when you aren't used to it. They are delicious though. Caden got an octopus pizza :) Of course.
