Naples, Italy

We walked Naples seeing the city's sites.  There was graffiti on all the walls and trash everywhere we went.  It needs a power wash from top to bottom. It was packed with tourists and two cruise ships were in port when we were there. 

There is a castle and also many grand buildings in the city.  Lots of picturesque statues and fountains that Italy is famous for.  There is also this galleria with covered glass dome that was pretty cool.

The pizza...oh the pizza! It is soooo good in Naples. We ate it everywhere we went. Most of the pizza is only 6-9 Euros each.  Every restaurant serves them and they are delish!!! Did I say the pizza was good?  It was great.

Outside our hotel room ( which is really a B&B in an alley) is this cute vegetable store that sells baskets. This is the cutest thing in the city.  Rick helps me as the editor of Bonaire Bobs.  Here he is hard at work in our B&B editing the blog.

 

The main reason we came to Naples was to see the artifacts from Pompeii in the National Archeological Museum. It was fascinating to see the mosaics, statues, brass utensils, silver kitchen ware, glass, jewelry and frescos recovered from the excavations of Pompeii. Some of the mosaics are done with pieces so tiny that they provide amazing details into life in Pompeii.

The running boys and Hercules were our favorite statues. One is made of brass and the other is marble.

Two statues photo-bombed our selfie.
