05-07-31 Napoli (Italia)

We took the train, from Venice for Naples. It was an over night train, so we arrived in the morning. Once there we contacted our friend, well in fact she was in the same train as us. So she contacted the guy from who she had a nice apartment and he manage to have us a big flat for Max and me for 20 euro each per night. It was really a big flat! with a view on the sea (ok it was not just beside it but since it was high we could see it) and on the Vesuvius. The first day we walked around the city, it is a big very nervous city, so we walked around our flat and around the main area. We saw nice churches and pizza stand/restaurants. It as an interesting architecture and nice small street, but I feel it dirty and very very nervous. It is only my impression kind of a feeling. In the city there is organized by panels some tours that we followed a little bit and in a way we made a tours guide. One evening we went with our friend and her friend to what is suppose to be the first pizza in Italy, it is always full and you have to wait! But it was worth it! It was such a delicious pizza. The next day we went to visit Herculaneum, it is a city that was also engulf by Vesuvius eruption but this one the villagers were able to flee. When you go there, you buy a ticket that can be used at both Herculaneum and Pompeii. Something frustrated me when we bought the ticket, it is that we could have student discount because we weren’t student of the European Union. Since when they have to make a difference, if any European goes outside the union, they’ll be able to have the discount. Things like that should be told aloud and shout, it is a form of discrimination based on the place where we are from. Bastard. Ok, now that it is said… Herculaneum was very beautiful and even if we cold have been to Pompeii it was quite enough. We basically only visit the city for one day, so we didn’t visited it that much but we had a nice impression of it, so different than Venice.
