We are in Naples today, and it is a fantastic city! The architecture is great, there are a lot of cool streets, and I had some delicious plain pizza with nothing but tomato sauce, the traditional Napoli way. Naples' reputation is that it's a dirty town, but I did not see a lot of that. It does have wealthy areas and poor areas right next to each other, but nothing compared to what I was expecting. I went for a walk about half-way across town up the hill, got some good photos in, and am now back at a cafe right next to the ship, across the street from an awesome looking castle. This port might supersede Istanbul as my favourite port of this contract, but because we don't get to stay into the evening I can't really compare it properly.
Tonight we play big band music which should be fun, but until then I plan to nap, eat, and practice.
