Tiberio Palace Hotel & Conference Center Naples

... the best pizza you ever have had and ever will have. This is your last day in Italy. You came back to Naples specifically to eat at this pizzeria."<br><br>Yep, I ordered a second pizza. The waiter asked if I wanted him to make it a small margherita. I said, "Nah." literally while I had a fork raised carrying a bite from my prima pizza. I ate both of those pizzas and I was so happy. I had also had a hefty beer. Needless to say I slept the entire train ride from Naples to Rome.<br>

... See ya. He immediately came over to me and said, "Wait, wait. If you pay 15euro we can start now." Uh, no. "Okay, okay, c'mon, let's go. We'll get started now." Oh yeah. Look at me working my consumer power.<br><br>I'm glad that I opted for the guide. Pompei/ii really is a city. It's not just a little archeological site closed in by a fence, it's a full on city with neighborhoods and roads and everything. But because it's all ruins it ...

... the town decimated but preserved from Mt. Vesuvius erupting in the first century. Throughout the week, we had the pleasure of being wined and dined by Sophie&#8217;s parents and we had some amazing food, the seafood was stellar.<br><br>Positano Pictures<br>http://picasaweb.google.com /Jonny.D.Lawrence/20091030Positano?auth key ...

... advice on where to go in the area. Good location to go north (to Naples and Pompeii) and south to Positano and Almafi (which is a hair raising but spectacular drive). We also took the boat to Capri which is a beautiful island and especially loved the Blue Grotto. First time we ran into some rain and we were at Pompeii for about 2 hours before it started raining .. even ...

... taking one of those CitySightseeing Buses. The same kind we took in Barcelona where passengers were able to hop on and hop off at any stop. <br><br>We were warned about the traffic in Naples and that caution was needed when crossing any street. Although we thought the traffic hectic, cars had no choice but to yield when groups of people were crossing the street. So, we waited for the locals ...

... some nice restaurants people try to cheat you. <br><br>Today I decided to check out a few more sites in Naples. I started off with an undeground tour. There is an aqueduct system beneath Naples which dates to the 4th century B.C.. It is kinda of crazy to know that this whole system is still down there. It is about 40m underground and I had fun squirming through some narrow passageways. People also ...

... people. 4:55PM (5 minutes before the wedding) Michele negotiated through the hilly streets of Naples like a Formula 1 driver and arrived in front of Santa Lucia al Monte Church (Vittorio Emanuele Blvd, 328), where we literally jumped out of the car and rushed to the entrance. There was only a small crowd trickling in, but no sight of the bride. Luigi said with a vindicated smile, "See, Italian ...

... the chaos that is Naples. The Arrival & the escape We arrived from Rome without any issue, the train trip being no different to our other pleasant Italian train experiences. But that's where the familiarities ended. We weren't long on the streets of Naples when we realised that things were indeed a bit 'different' here and that we'd have to keep a tighter grip on our bags on these streets. The areas surrounding most main train stations are usually more ...

... heard about Italian romance (the national past time seems to be making out), but to describe the walk back at night, I will not use words such as serene, romantic, and intimate. Rather, I would describe it as an adrenaline-fueled free for all fight for the death! Scooters don't have traffic rules apparently and you had to be on your guard at every corner. Fortunately, we all made it back safely. I feel like there should be a helmet law for everyone, pedestrians included.

... a half an hour from Naples. It was a tight train ride, but I made it in one piece. Upon my arrival, to my satisfaction I discovered that the station was literally about 100 feet from the entrance to the main site of Pompeii ruins. I didn't know this, but there is also more than one site in Pompeii that you can see-I only saw the main one because the other one required a lot more money to get into and it was hard to get to without a car. Even so, the main site was good enough for my ...
