Naples (sucks, that is)

[erilyn]

Grrr, lj just ate this post. Let's try again.

Am in Naples, came down by train from Rome yesterday. Sam and I both took a near-instant dislike to this dirty, polluted, unfriendly and simply yucky city. At that was before I was spat on by some local teenagers.

Turns out we can do some of our planned activities from Sorrento, which was our next stop, so we're going there two days early (thankfully the hostel had beds free). I think we need a break from big cities, and Sorrento is basically a resort town, as far as I understand. Shame in a way, our hostel room here has it's own bathroom (the luxury!).

Went to Pompeii this morning. It was very hot, very sunny, and very very interesting. Couldn't get near the brothel with intact fresco advertising, due to huge crowds :)

Thanks for the cds, hnix, been meaning to say that. But they've been especially useful, as Sam and I have been making up new lyrics to "Ontario Sucks", about Naples :)
