Naples walking tour

  23,500 steps

Full day in Napoli today. Started the day with a free walking tour with lots of good stories, and some parts of Napoli we had never visited. Never knew they were so suspicious here, lots of little monuments and things that are touched as you go by.

Lunch we tried fried pizza, we all tried it but I'm not sure any of us would order it again.

Back to the apartment for a break then out again and took the Funicular to the top of the mountain where the castle is for some great views of the city. Back down the funicular, passed on going down 400 steps. We also had the best pistachio cannoli of the trip, very yummy.

Next off to find pizza for supper, our first choice was closed as it was Monday, then Andre took us to a place that he had heard about that has been around since 1870. Only 4 types of pizza to choose from. Line ups to get in as well as line ups for take away. It it was less busy than usual.

Back to the apartment for our last night before we move on again.

Small door was for the servants. Also they had to bow to show respect coming in as the door was not high enough for them

Spritz from last night???

At Dante square where we met our guide

 Chiesa delia Santa Croce di Lucca

Giuseppe Moscati, a famous Dr. from Naples that is now a Saint. Many come to worship for him to heal them even now.

This fresco was similar to the Vatican. The picture is of someone getting caught stealing and put at the exit so that the treasures in the Church would not be stolen if the thieves saw what would be done to them if caught

Santa Chiara
