Napoli Trip

Three amazing days in the bonkers city that is Napoli. We loved it.

Napoli

We took a three night trip to Napoli, primarily to visit Pompeii. Pompeii was as impressive as expected but we also fell in love with the bonkers, graffiti-clad, football and Maradona daft Napoli. Napoli, or Naples, was a full-on assault on the senses with so much to take in while walking the narrow streets, being mindful not to be mowed down by a scooter at any moment. Somehow, and I don't know how, they always managed to miss. I loved the graffiti, which sounds odd, but it was everywhere, artistic, photogenic and colourful and the city wouldn’t be the same without it. Pompeii photo blog. Maradona photo blog.

Maradona Madness

It’s no exaggeration to say that Napoli is Maradona obsessed and worships the man like a god. He arrived in 1984 and helped them win the league for the first time in 1987. Despite leaving in disgrace in 1992 after being banned for cocaine use and being addicted to it throughout his entire time there, the legend lives on, witnessed on every street corner. There's even a museum dedicated to him. Of course, as Scots, we have a couple of reasons to have a soft spot for him too. This blog started as a project to capture each Maradona image we stumbled across. That quickly became ridiculous - he is EVERYWHERE! Instead here are just a few of the highlights.

Pompeii

We spent a beautiful, sunny October day at Pompeii, guided by the engaging and knowledgeable Ida. When her tour was finished, Kim became guide with her app giving us a route and some purpose as we roamed the huge city. I’d been unaware of quite how vast the place was and while there’s no denying that it was busy, it was easy enough a turn or corner or two and lose yourself on a quiet back street, not unlike the experience in a modern, occupied city.
