Naples, Italy


We arrived in Naples on Day 7 and 8 of the trip and on first impressions, the city had many beautiful qualities - a wide bay full of cruise ships from around the Mediterranean; a UNESCO World Heritage listed Old Town; a number of imposing fortresses that would have rebelled any invading flotilla; and of course being the birthplace of pizza.
However, our first thoughts on arriving at Naples train station wasn't as positive as it appeared chaotic, dirty and it was lucky that we had organised a driver to pick us up as the city itself is very large and perfect for a tourist to get lost easily.
