Naples-Napoli

Decided last minute to take a day trip to Napoli with a fellow Fulbrighter. Only a 2 ish hour ride on the slow train for €10.5.

That was my Caprese Pizza for only €5!


Naples is where Margherita Pizza originated- which would explain why the pizza there was by far the best pizza I've EVER had in my life. 

Gulf of Naples


The painting on the wall says "Fishing Prohibited" Ha.



Duomo di Napoli
(Cathedral)






The town is very dense...




Many stairs to the top- we should have taken the funicular....


A beautiful view at the top.

Mount Vesuvius in the distance.




Another view of Mount Vesuvius.


Funicular from the top to the center of town.


Notice a one way street, with many barriers so that motorized vehicles don't come through.


We saw 7 Vespas weave their way through the barriers going in the opposite direction of the one-way street.
