Naples- Pizza & Dioramas!

Very basic menu-two types of pizza

Naples Pizza

Typical street in Naples

Everything you need to make dioramas!

We arrived here yesterday around 6pm, probably the craziest time to be in the Naples traffic! There was gridlock on the main streets near the train station, and although two policemen were in the middle of the road attempting to direct traffic, people were pretty much ignoring them. It was quite entertaining and I enjoyed it even more after doing up my seatbelt!! I gather this is typical of Naples, so we were lucky enough to
experience it firsthand.
This morning we walked around the area near our B&B - we were both surprised to see the number of shops & stalls selling "dioramas"- either manger scenes or just everyday life scenes. Some of them had amazing detail.
The highlight of our walk was finding the oldest (1870) pizza restaurant in Napoli (pizza was invented here), and having both a marguerita and a marinara, the only types they make. The guy putting them together must have been 80 years old, and it was great to watch his assistants baking them in the wood oven. I'll post a few photos.
This will be my last blog post - it's been fun to write about our experiences- hope you have enjoyed it too!
Ciao,
