Bubbles Goes to Naples
March 2019
It has been a very busy month for all the Babes and for Bubbles in particular - no sooner had she returned from Fuerteventura than she was off for a short break to Naples, here is her photo diary of her adventures
Arriving at the hotel at Manchester airport on a cold and chilly evening it is jolly good to be well provided with nice warm drinks - I hope the weather will be better when we get to Naples
What a lovely comfy bed - all set for an early night as I know Mike and Helen will be up at silly o'clock to make sure that we don't miss our flight
Look where they have made me sit to travel - I'm used to much better than this - I get much better treatment on an Emirates flight
So here we are in Naples and I have to say I am not very impressed - they seem to be knocking most of it down - these are not the sort of ruins I was expecting!
This is a very, very big and Castle and it isn't in ruins - very impressive
The sign is pointing to the Museum of Torture - I do hope that we aren't going there
And here we are in Pompeii - its a beautiful day but I can't believe that Vesuvius is shrouded in cloud - Mike and Helen do have a habit of promising that I will see things and then they just don't appear!
And this is really not what I was expecting to find in Pompeii
Pompeii is very big and we have done a lot of walking - at last we are able to sit down for lunch and a much needed drink
Just having another rest and wondering what the Romans used to store in these
It really is a beautiful day today, I think I might just stay here and sunbathe but I'm guessing Mike and Helen won't let me
Now I know what this - I've seen these in the Peak District
Pompeii is making me feel very small and insignificant.
After a very tiring day at Pompeii it is good to relax on the roof terrace at the hotel
Here we are at a monastery up on the top of a big hill in Naples - we came up here on a funicular railway which was fun but Someone forgot to take a photo of me enjoying the ride! I think this was one of the monks who lived here.
It is a very big place and lots to explore
If it wasn't cloudy we would have a wonderful view of Vesuvius from here!
There are lots of narrow busy streets in Naples - I hope we don't get lost or run over by a moped or kidnapped by the Mafia......
Now this is the real reason for coming to Naples - proper pizza
And here is the pizza place where we ate - apparently Bill Clinton stopped here for pizza!
At last - I finally manage to see Mount Vesuvius!
