Cruise Day 4: Naples and Pompeii

Everyone had told us that Naples is pretty gross, and so we had planned on just going to Pompeii and then hiking up Mt Vesuvius. Well, Pompeii was absolutely amazing and we spent quite some time there hiking around and exploring. We were done there around 1 pm, and since it was hot as hell again outside (which I am not complaining about... I love every second of it!) we decided against hiking up Mt Vesuvius. Plus, now I can still use one of my favorite quotes from Zoolander:

“So I was freeclimbing Mt Vesuvius, when I suddenly lost my grip, so I'm falling and falling, and then I start to think. Hey, haven’t you been smoking peyote for the last six days, and isn’t it a possibility that this is all in your head? And it turned out I was right. I've never even been to Mt Vesuvius.”

We still had quite a bit of time left in port, so we decided to try and find one of the original pizza places (Naples is the birthplace of Pizza). Even though we agree that Naples is pretty crappy (especially compared to all the magnificent places in Italy), we had a good time wandering the streets. And we had an even better time at the pizza place. The pizza was soo soo good!
