Naples, what an experience! We've never been so scared for our lives on any of our travels. The capital of Campania is rumoured to the most dangerous city of Italy! (which is already quite dangerous) As my trusted Wiki says, "The character and culture of Napoli is immense; the dirt and grime has more flavour than any other city. This is the Italian recipe for reality and fun!"
Check out Giovanni's map: Our hostel owner kindly warned us to stay away from the purple-shaded areas. Dude, that's like 1/3 of Naples!

Pompeii: The next day we headed to Pompeii, the famous city buried by Mt Versuvius' vulcanic ash. Entering the ruins... 
The rocks that remain unscathed
Just 1 of the many pictures on the wall of the best brothel in Pompeii! The purpose? For people to 'seek insipiration'.
Pizzaria Sorbillo: THE best pizzaria in town (ok there's another famous one called Da Michele). See the 'Where Pizza was born' sign?? 
Drool at my hugomongous calzone :)Gino Sorbillo's grandfather invented the calzone!
Galleria Umberto: Exactly the same as the one in Milan? It's by the same designer!
Castel Nuovo
Why are there so few picture of Naples? It's not safe to take out the camera! You have to see all the dodgy alleys and dubious-looking people to believe it. We'd rather not risk it :)

Sunrise at Palermo!
