Naples home and neighbourhood

Well, we had a good night's sleep last night and just spent the morning vegging around the apartment.  Then we went out to get our veggies, amongst other things.  We found everything we will need within a block or two from the apartment, how nice.

Some pictures from our trip to Naples yesterday.

Waiting to leave Rome - that's our train - the last one on the list

On the way, sunny skies, little towns everywhere you look

From a moving train - rain has started - little hillside town

Another hillside town, note the road zig zagging up to it

 Our Naples home for the next 5 weeks

Then we went out for a walk around the neighbourhood to orientate ourselves.  We got lost, then we decided to look at a map to figure out where the heck we were.  Not a lot of help! Cheryl, if you thought Rome was bad for no straight streets, you should be here!  They twist and turn every which way and you can hardly find a street sign to let you know where  you are.  The maps provided are not that good either.  Your best hope is to come upon a Plaza somewhere and then maybe you can figure out where you are.  We eventually found our way back home, uphill all the way!!

decorated buildings

not sure what these were - they were on the hill below the building above
they look like fanciful giant birdhouses

Note the street escalator to take people up to another level

No escalator here - just good old will power needed

Out on our walk, Mount Vesuvius seen in the distance
