It almost seemed orderly. We skipped Naples and just did Pompeii from Sorrento as I'd heard all the same crazy Naples stories as you apparently have. Free Limoncello can't be beat, though. And that photo of the boats is fantastic. We downloaded the Rick Steves audiotour of Pompeii onto our iPhones and Nintendo DS (which made it look like our kids were gaming at Pompeii). It was fantastic and free.

Like I find everywhere that the media has tried to influence me, it was all for naught and we found Naples endearing. I think the trick to places like Pompei is to go early, early before it's too hot and the busloads of tourists descend. I can't wait until your next installment!<br /><br />Thanks for linking up with #wkendtravelinspiration!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06954477073768042790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2165759327413478117.post-69342762404996474592015-07-26T00:04:38.211-04:002015-07-26T00:04:38.211-04:00Ha ha, Love your style.

Did love Sorrento though :) Luckily when we visited Pompeii it wasn't too hot and we just did it by ourselves, no headset either. We entered through one entry and out another. I had quite a few disappointing pasta dishes in Italy!Budget Travel Talkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06943323587509491729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2165759327413478117.post-13604008185966465262015-07-25T20:57:14.943-04:002015-07-25T20:57:14.943-04:00I loved seeing these pictures and reading your tra...I loved seeing these pictures and reading your travel journal and even reading the comments of people who have been to Italy! And that you actually admitted "show me the Mona Lisa and where's the food"! <br /><br />High five here!<br /><br />I remember loving all the Frances Mayes' books of their travels around Italy but she was far more fond of ancient Etruscan sculpture than I would have been. I much preferred all her accounts of meals and the restoration of her house.<br /><br />I can't wait to visit the Amalfi Coast with you. I have a vintage black and white postcard of the view of some of it from the terrace of the "Hotel Cappuccini" that I put in a beautiful sterling silver frame that I pick up over and over and imagine being there.

I was a little underwhelmed initially also by Naples but it grew on me. Now Sorrento was beautiful and you will get offered a lot of free samples of limoncello.

Afraid I'd be disappointed after the ruins we've seen in Greece (but then, I keep saying, "Next time" so who knows). I laughed about your reaction to the traffic as I had the same response. We just picked a pizza place that said since the 1930's we figured if it had been there that long it must be good -- and it was fabulous.

So, I can't imagine setting foot on the actual grounds. I would've worried about the volcano too. I would probably be like you too and not want to study every little detail everywhere we went. The highlights would probably tide me over. Afterall, you only have so much time in a day to see it all!
