Our Italy Trip: Napels, Ferry to Sicily and Toarmina

Our next stop is Napels. Literally a complete stop.  Traffic is not moving most of the time.  Everyone knows Italian drivers are crazy AND the Napoli drivers are worse.  Seems like there is only one rule in traffic: If you have an inch of space YOU TAKE IT! No one there ever heard of the meaning of red traffic lights or lanes.  Lots of fun if you have 'nerves of steel' and do not care too much about having a perfect, dentless car. All Myia could do was laugh at the ridiculousness of it all.  And somehow it all seems to work for them!

In Napels there are also lots of weddings with beautiful brides in beautiful churches, sometimes even handsome grooms.  And often beautifully dressed bridesmaids.

On the bay of Naples  we look back at the lights of the city of Naples at the bottom of Vesuvius.  Looks like the lava it once brought.

Arriving in Sicily via the ferry our first real stop is the town of Toarmina, a cute, very touristic mountain village.  Typically European, or is it Italian nightlife - families strolling allong squares and little streets in the evenings.  Busy and very nice with great views over the coastline.
