Wacky random ramblings about wacky random trips


More Days in Napoli

Again, our daily walk down into town… the Napoli smog seems to be lifting day by day, so we are enjoying the slowly-clearer views! But no matter how you slice it,  it’s twenty-one minutes to get down to sea-level, and that’s just the starting point to get anywhere
Oh brother, embarrassing story now….

So we obviously read up on stuff, especially about Sicilia, and it turns out they eat horses there. When you hear that, it’s something you don’t forget easily!! So whenever I see signs like above, featuring “Mare” in large letters, my first thought is “Horse restaurant!!”

But obviously—albeit not to me—”Mare” in Italian means “of the sea,” so all these zillions of horse places I thought I saw were simply innocent seafood places 😂🤦‍♂️😂

OMG maybe they serve seahorses?!?!?

Espressos are so insane here
Great shot of breakfast on the Med: you can make out Sam down there on the right, also notice the newspaper-reading person–we’ve noticed them a lot here, a blast from the past! Haha just like all the smoking: feels like half the population here smokes?? Well, honestly if I had to drive daily in this madness I’d prolly smoke too 😂 and more than cigarettes!
Ooooooo, guess what’s for lunch!!!
Looks like Christmas is coming?
lol Grandma had a few too many I guess
Appetizer was great
lol at the wine-cork cozy again
Pizza was rockin
Afterwards was grappa in the forefront, limoncello behind, plus chocolate droppings in the middle
Check out the grappa options!!
Obviously there must be dessert (this is still lunch lol)
Thirty seconds later 😀
oooooh baby, maybe next time ‘-(
View straight across the street from lunch
Down the street from lunch….
… and up the street from lunch
Mt Vesuvius in the background as always
And me, in my well-earned Malta hat haha
