We had different plans for the day, but this was the first of many days that we moved & changed once in Europe. We slept in for our health and were showered and to breakfast before it was over at 11:00. This was the view from our hotel room. We went to the train station and bought a phone card. We tried about 4 different times to get it to work until and old man hobbled over to us, said nothing, grabbed the card from Andrew's hand, snapped the corner off, and put in back into the machine. He picked up the receiver, handed it to Andrew and hobbled away! It was hilarious! We stood there dumbfounded for a moment, then proceeded with our call!! (I love Italy!)
We walked the main streets of Naples and found a great place for lunch. It turned out to be the best pizza of the whole trip!! Then on to the National Archaeological Museum which houses remains from Pompeii & Herculaneum that were covered in lava and ash in the 79AD eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. We went into the "Secret Room" and saw the largest collection of penis art we could have ever imagined! We also saw the largest Hall in Europe with a sun dial built into the floor and a small hole in the wall to let the sunbeams in onto the floor. One of our favorites was the Farnese Bull, which you should check out. It has a cool story!
