Day trip to Naples

The day started off at 7:30 AM, when Ben and I headed towards our campus to catch the bus.  By the time we reached the streets from our apartment, we thought that we would have enough time to go ahead and try a new route.  This lead to us getting lost in our own neighborhood and close to being late to catch the bus.  But, we show up around five minuets late and surprisingly we are the first ones on the bus for once.  After about a thirty minuet wait for everyone is on the bus and we head about two hours south to Naples, the third largest city in Rome.  

Before we arrived to Naples I knew little about it, all I heard were stories about how amazing the pizza is.  For those of you who don't know Naples is known for the best pizza in the world.... I would have to agree on this one!

Once we arrive to Naples, we meet up with our, once again SHORT tour guide.  From there we are taken all over Naples, I wish we were able to take pictures of the places we went into, but I'm slowly finding out that Rome is one of the only places in Europe you can take pictures almost anywhere.  From there we were taken to a few museums and walk around for close to an hour.

Later in the afternoon our tour guide says goodbye to all of us, the CEA guides took us to what was suppose to be one of the most famous pizza places in Napoli.  

The place was amazing, but the only problem was that we were ordering for 30 people.  Meaning that the quality of the pizza wasn't the best, but still amazing!

We all were given our own personal margarita pizza and a choice of a drink, I worked at an Italian Pizza place for a second, there is nothing like a true Italian pizza!

After pizza we received a gift from CEA and headed back to the bus.  From there we went back to Rome to enjoy the rest of our weekend!

There was a lot I like about Naples, but at the same time the town was really small and pretty sketchy.  There were stories floating around on how easy it was to pick-pocket you.  All of us were on our toes and at one point there was a time we thought a guy on a scooter was going to attempt it.  Naples all together is really dirty, there was graffiti all over ancient statues and churches.  Something that Rome does not have at all.  There was almost zero respect for the city all together. 

Now that I can cross Naples off my list, I never plan on going back there!
