NAPOLI, ITALY ON THE FUNICOLARE AND THE BIG RED BUS! (Thursday, 9-16-2021)

We decided it was high time to stay put and finally see Napoli today!  We took the funicolare up the mountain to see the views.


It took us a very long time (and many steps) to figure out where in the heck to go to see a view!  There was an entire town at the top!  John and I found our new residence name….FLORIDIANA!


And Patte found her HAPPY place at a nearby Gelateria!


Finally, after walking what seemed to be a million miles, after asking what seemed to be a million people, we FINALLY found a breathtaking view of Naples!





We stopped to grab a drink and rest our poor tired feet.  This is what is typical when ordering drinks in Italy!  Snacks!  Lots of snacks that always includes potato chips (usually Ruffles)!


When we got back down the mountain, we decided to take the Big Red Bus Tour.  And are we glad we did!  Not only did it give our feet another rest, but the neighborhoods we passed through were interesting to see and the views were AMAZING!






After our tour of Napoli was finished, we went back and packed once again.  This was our last evening in Naples.  We ventured out later to walk to the “pizza district” and, after taking in the sights and sounds of chaotic Naples, decided on a restaurant called Dante 42 in the Piazza Dante, a large public square.  Would you believe, our last night in Naples and basically the last night of our month long journey, and I, along with my fellow travelers, totally forgot to take photos of our world renowned pizzas!  You’ve just gotta believe me when I say, “They were SO SO GOOD!”  





CIAO FOR NOW!
