We formed a group of friends and family for a cruise on the western Mediterranean.
For this trip we have a group just one shy of a dozen folks, with my granddaughter Tayler being the ‘youngster’ at the tender age of 19. For the most part of this trip Tayler has been equally entertaining and entertained.
We started in Barcelona, where we spent
a day trying to adjust our body clocks by wandering down and around La Rambles
and munching marvelous tapas at Guell Tapas Restaurant, which we found down a
narrow street, not far from a most conspicuous porn establishment, that also proved
to be a valuable landmark for other members of our group looking to catch up
with us.
After Barcelona our next stop is in Naples. Good Karma was with us as we soon
found our hired driver from Best Limos in Rome was the very same one we
travelled with 5 years ago, Ivo Franco. I highly recommend Best Limos in Rome, they took excellent care of our group.
On this day our group was split up between those
wanting a trip to the ruins at Pompei, while the rest of us went the other
direction to the beautiful city of Naples, to see the St. Gennaro Cathedral , the San Carlo Opera House, and Via
San Gregorio Armena, the Nativity street where you can finds hundreds of artisans and their workshops building nativity scenes of all sizes and all the trimmings to go along with it.
In Naples you will have the best pizza ever. And we did
while at the Nativity street section.
While visiting the church of San Giuseppe Moscati, I stumbled upon a brass doppelganger of one of our sled hockey friends, Dennis Senk.
Pretty weird....
The Teatro di San Carlo was a beautiful opera house and the last stop to tour of Napoli day before a delicious late lunch on the harbor.
Next stop, Rome.
