Napoli

Naploi

We visited Naples today. The city is densely populated and chaotic. It sits at the base of Mt Vesuvius, and the views of the Seacoast are breathtaking. The tour bus company was unorganized and frustrating, and the first bus route that we took sat mostly in uptown traffic and smelled of smog. The second loop, however, took us on a trip with views I will always remember.

We are having a great time onboard. I gambled a bit and made a deal with Erika that she could have the $100 dollar bill or let me take it into the casino and she could keep whatever I won. She chose the casino, and came away with a cool $180. We are all pretty amazed at the late nights we are keeping. We found an acoustic guitar player doing a Beatles night at the Star Bar and stayed out until nearly midnight. Wow! Erika has so far resisted our suggestions that she attend the single functions on the ship, and she seems totally unaware of how the beautiful Italian men are enamored by her.

The weather is perfect, and the Internet still is terrible. Over half done with our trip, see you all soon! On to Rome.
