Starhotels Terminus Naples

... just got that. Does it?) Anyway, that's my favorite kind of mozzarella. And it said it had pomodorini -- little tomatoes. I was psyched. This was for sure going to be the best pizza yet. But then it arived. And it didn't have any sauce. I was so bummed. I kept swearing. Out loud. The waiter told me a side of pizza sauce would be cold so I just sucked it up. <br><br>Until.<br><br>I took a moment.<br><br>I said to myself, "Josie, a margherita pizza is 3 euro. You love pizza. This is ...

... not like a modern city where you can tell someone to turn left at the blue house with the white car out front. It would be like saying turn left at the ruined house with 19 remaining bricks. Oh Josie, you're losing your audience, what the heck are you talking about? MY POINT: Pompei is a big, ruined city that is hard to navigate without a guide. <br><br>I took a ton of photos and have added captions to help explain what you're looking ...

... the maniac behind the wheel were enough to make you feel nautious. Sophie's parents had rented a villa in the heard of the village, with amazing patios and views of the sea. From Positano we did a couple of day trips to Capri, a small island about a 35 minute ferry ride of the coast and a trip to Pompeii to the ancient Roman ruins ...

... umbrella and raincoat got soaked through to our underwear! Next day it rained hard too but did not mind a lazy day with no sightseeing. The city of Naples has a few nice areas but is a really dirty city and one day of sightseeing was plenty. Seeing Naples and Mt. Vesuvius from a distance is the best way to see them but south of Naples and the Almafi coast is not to be missed.

... park a smart car. And nobody got parking tickets. <br><br>Our first bus tour, on the red bus, began at the Castel Nuovo and headed north to the Museo de Campodimonte passing the Fontana in via Medina, Convitto Nationale (National School in Naples), Basilica de Santa Maria della Sanita and the Church of Madre del Buon Consiglio along the way. <br><br>Returning to the bus terminal, we ...

... with a taxi driver, and then decided to take a bus. The bus never came. It was midnight and we were in a ghetto city surrounded by people who were clearly under the influence of numerous substances and also clearly identified us as Americans. It was just charming. We found a taxi driver who took us back to the hostel for more than the original driver, but we decided to leave before we were robbed or approached by the prostitutes from across the street.

... one major drawback; I had to have the pants altered. I did not want to wait an extra day for the alterations like the time I also bought a new suit in this very same city two years ago at Sonny Bono (Via Toledo). I explained to them in Italian that I was leaving for Norway tomorrow, and today I had a wedding to go to in three hours. The people in the store were very friendly and ...

... there were people setting off firecrackers on the roof of a building when we arrived, but the hostel itself is very cool. I like it a lot. After checking in, Nick and I were starving, and my queasiness gone, so we decided to find what Napoli is known for, Pizza. We walked and walked, all the shops are shut being a Sunday, not a cafe or restaurant was open, nothing. Finally we found a place, the pizza looked really good, so we went in and ordered. 4.50&euro; for a pizza that was ...

... driver. I'm sure he gets that from sheltered non-italians all the time. That night, the four of us (Karli, Richard and ourselves) went in search of another fantastic meal with cheap wine, just as we had done for the three previous nights. But all the restaurants had switched over for the night to 'set-menu only', for a minimum of 45 Euros each! Feeling frugal, and a little disappointed, we opted for a kebab shop which turned out to be deliciously greasy. As ...

... However, they had cream limoncello and it was amazing...not that I am bringing some back for sampling or anything. ;) I was pleasantly surprised to discover gelati is much less fattening than regular ice cream. I mean, I am still going to need 2 seats for the ride home, but thats fine. We have day trips planned until we leave Naples on Sunday - I forget off hand which island we are visiting tomorrow, but it is supposed to be ...
