Big Bad City of Napoli

Naples. was. terrifying.

It's definitly NOT a tourist friendly city. But much more of an 'authentic' italian experince I guess. Tons of vespas, creepy guys leering at us, and good food. We had a hell of a time trying to figure out the Metro and no one speaks english. Already off to a bad start. We went to a market, which according to Lonely Planet, was the best in Naples. But we felt differently.

Imagine THE sketchiest parts of Kensignton Market (Toronto), multiply that by a hundred, add in the fact that we stick out like sore thumbs and everyone hates us and thats what it was like. As we were walking down the market, someone in the houses above us threw dirty water on us, nailing chris right in the head!!!! Seriously. We lasted 30 minutes before running back to our hostel.

Our hostel on the other hand... is BEAUTIFUL!! Great bedrooms, wonderful terrace, free breakfast, good common room. Totally reccomend it if you ever come to Naples.... but dont ever come to Naples.

THe only good thing about this city was its Pizza. Pizza was invented in Naples and we went to the best pizzaria in all of Italy (according both to LOnely Planet and our taste buds). It was called Gino Sobilla. I had a gorgonzola, ham, and onion pizza. IT WAS AMAZING. I really reccomend it if you evercome to Naples.... but dont ever come to Naples.

Now we're headed out to the Amalfi Coast. Its beautiful waether here and its only going to get warmed another hour south. We have a b & b and its going to be good Ithink. I'll keep ya posted. :)
