• Napoli will bring out the explorer in you but you must have several maps, good walking shoes, and some basic Italian to navigate it.
• Driving in Napoli is like aspiring to be a Kamikazi! We walked the streets and drove only went leaving the city for day trips.

“We tramped through pouring rain, with wet maps in search of the Chapel of San Severo. Anyone who has been to Napoli knows that navigating its tiny streets without at least 2 maps and the ability to ask for directions in simple Italian is a challenge. In this case our efforts were rewarded beyond any expectation that we had. The Veiled Christ and the Disenchantment are stunning even if you have seen the works of Michangelo in Frenzy or Roma. Awed does not begin to describe the sensations. No pictures can capture the magic. These two sculptors had with their marble. Don't miss it!”
