Cruise Day 3 - Naples, Italy!
Today on our Mediterranean we port in Naples. We get off the ship and meet up with our tour director, Josh, who happens to be from Tulsa, OK. Josh is in Italy studying of all thing philosophy. Not sure what you can do with that degree other than just teach but he was a really nice young man and spoke really good english LOL :-) Anyway Josh and our guide, Nello who was hilarious I might add did a great job as did our bus driver. We started off on our way down the Amalfi Coast which was pretty but also dirty in my opinion. The big thing there is lemons and limoncello. Limoncello is an Italian lemon liqueur mainly produced in Southern Italy, especially in the region around the Gulf of Naples, the Sorrentine Peninsula and the coast of Amalfi and islands of Procida, Ischia and Capri. Boy they had some HUGE lemons there too. I didn't partake of any limoncello but I did have a refreshing lemons freeze drink when we got to Positano. Then we went to the ruins of Pompeii, which was destroyed in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. It was pretty cool seeing all this old stuff LOL.
