Situated on the bay of Naples opposite the imposing Mount Vesuvius, Naples is the perfect gateway to visit charming towns teetering on the edges of cliffs, or nestled into deep gorges, the fascinating ruins of Pompeii or Herculaneum, enchanting Isle of Capri and much, much more. Naples is Italy’s third largest city and is one of the oldest. Naples’ Centro storico (historic centre) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, its archaeological treasures are among the world’s most impressive, and its swag of vain glorious palaces, castles and churches make Rome look positively provincial.
Berthed in Naples this morning, another sunny day. Views across the bay to Vesuvius a bit hazy.
Leisurely morning then a walk up through the town towards the old part of the city. Pleasant enough but much to busy and crowded to really enjoy.
Back on board for a burger and a sit in the sun.
Good effort with today's trivia, couple more stamps but the third member of our term gets off tomorrow, she will be sorely mixed.
Early show in the theatre tonight, change of schedule on nights before change of passengers.
Tonight a combination of the Cunard Singers and Dancers with a short show of Paul Simon numbers. Then a change over to the Troubadours. They put on another very good and well received show of mixed numbers including more unaccompanied acapella.
Then up for a late supper in the Lido with a British theme tonight.
