'A Canzuncella, Naples

Advantages: Mostly helpful,friendly.(many see op.)
Disadvantages: Can be expensive. Traffic,crime,pollution.

...,each year to visit.And it's a place I both love and detest,for Naples is like that in everything you can see,do or experience there... Giuseppe's family are extensive,(in laws etc) and it is a place I both love,and miss,but couldn't live there again for various reasons. NAPLES. The very name brings a magic,deep within my heart. A misty tear of reminiscence to my eyes,a mixture of joy,and hell,pleasure and pain...there is no getting over it,and if you are looking for cold hard facts,url addresses and links you're going to be bitterly disapointed- but I promise you,-you will be entertained. This city,as a resident,is not for the faint hearted,- but as a visitor on holiday,it is as close to paradise as you could get- sea,sand,sun,cheap food,adventures,countryside on the outskirts,orange and lemon groves,best Pizza's the most wonderful...

It was worth the climb though, to seem the steam coming out of the volcano, smell the slight sulphur smell, and to look at the view was incredible.

...At the beginning of April 2004 I spent 24 hours in Naples (on my way to Sardinia), I´d like to take you with me and show you what I saw. I stayed in a hotel in the historical centre, Hotel Sansevero in Piazza San Domenico Maggiore 9; 70 Euro for a single room (clean, quiet, nice modern furniture, small breakfast). The description on the net said, ´easily reachable by underground (Metropolitana) Montesanto station or by bus direction Corso Umberto´. Ha!, says I, nonsense, nothing is easily reachable in Naples that isn´t situated directly beside an underground station. There are only two lines in the whole city and they do not cross the historical centre. If you don´t know which bus number to take (the info on the net didn´t include it) and can´t speak the language well so that you can ask, this means of transportation is not advisable... Read review
