Today was one long walk to see beautiful Naples. We left our hotel and walked toward the Mediterranean through throngs of people! It was a Sunday morning, but it reminded me of every movie I've ever seen in NYC...people all over, going every direction! There were people selling things set out on blankets further crowding the already overcrowded sidewalks! We walked passed many interesting buildings, one of which was the Certosa Di San Martino, a castle perched high up on a hill overlooking the Mediterranean.

We saw Castel Dell' Ovo, a castle in the water that was started in the 9th century. And right next door, we stumbled upon an outdoor ice skating rink where families and kids were laughing and screaming with joy! We found a place for pizza and limoncello for lunch. Just a helpful note: Limoncello is VERY strong, so don't have it for lunch unless you usually drink strong alcohol for lunch!
We walked
back on the Via Chiaia, where most of the shops were closed on Sunday. There were still people wandering, and it was a great place to sit and watch the Italians and daydream what their lives must be like. This street is a must if you ever visit Naples! We headed back to the hotel to prepare for Rome.
