I’m behind

Once again it’s late and I need sleep. So now I’m two days behind on pictures. I have pictures today from the museum in Naples with stuff from Pompeii. The mosaics are amazing.

Naples is nuts

When the bus took us to the train station from the airport, we got to see how crazy the drivers are here. Scooters cutting in and out of traffic, red lights optional, park wherever you want. Our bus couldn’t make a turn because of a double parked car. Had to wait. We were dropped off at the station, but couldn’t find it. It was a big square (piazza), but nothing looked right, and there were no signs, in any language. We walked around in the busy, hot streets of Naples, downed a slice of pizza (needs more cheese), and asked for help. Found the station, under construction, so signs were not very visible.

Naples

Naples is a chaotic mess of cars, people and graffiti. We landed at the air port, tried to buy the tourist card that gets you into museums for free or half price, and includes free public transit. Was supposed to be available at airport. No, info desk person says get at Giribaldi train station. Bought €3 bus ticket to train station. Ask at station. No that guy didn’t show up to work today. Buy it at the museum. Bought €1.10 metro ticket to get to museum. Could have walked faster than the metro ran.
