No Napoli in Napoli

Adrian avoided Spaghetti Napoli, at every restaurant we ate at in Greece, in preparation for the real thing only to find you can’t get it Naples. All was not lost though, the pasta we have had is better than any we have ever tasted.

As well as eating we have also managed to fit in some sightseeing above and below ground, explored the ruins of Pompeii, and climbed Mount Vesuvius. We had a couple of nights in Rome before arriving here. We are heading to Milan tomorrow (Monday).
