Naples, Amalfi coast and Paestum temples

We finally left Amalfi and headed south to our next stop in Paestum. There is a great museum and ancient town built by the Greeks in 500BC to check out. There are 3 big Greek temples there also. Temple of Ceres, temple of Neptune, and temple of Hera. Very impressive!
Tomorrow is a driving day with no major tourist stops. After that we take the ferry to Sicily.

On to Verona & Lake Como
... Juliet's balcony. I have to admit, this was over-hyped. For one you could hardly get near it for so many tourists were crammed in to the little side-street. There was so much chewing gum on he walls (apparently for tributes to Juliet?!), it just looked very untidy. Plus there was a gift shop there which again, you could not get near.
