Jewel of the Seas Greek Isles - Naples Part 2
When the bus dropped us off back at port we set out to explore the town. We went up into residential areas...school kids were walking home, men were standing on the corners having a smoke and chatting, corner veggie stands with people picking up veggies for the night’ dinner...
It wasn't really a cold day, but it was quite windy. I was in jeans and a jacket for most of it. We stumbled (literally stumbled) into Galleria Umberto, the world's oldest shopping mall, and our jaws dropped at the sheer beauty and architecture of it.
signs on the non tourist streets of Naples:
We were growing hungry again so headed back to the shopping area to find that classic Naples pizza for me.
We tried 2 different places, but both were disappointing to be honest.
We made our way back to the ship and were going to check out Castle Nuovo, erected in 1279, but decided to just walk around the exterior.
back at the ship:
I can't quite put it into words, but this is one of my favorite pictures from the trip. It was our last port stop, we had seen and learned so much, our hunger for exploring and learning more was only growing.
Our final sunset on ship did not disappoint. We sat on our balcony and took it all in...every site we'd seen, all the people we had met, the cultures we had experienced.
Our trip was not done! Coming we have debarkation and one more day in Rome. We got engaged our first day...what would happen now?
