Exploring the culture and devastation of Herculaneum was an incredible experience for both of us. It is an extremely well-preserved site which allowed us to get a "real-feel" for the town. The heat of the day was also very real peaking at 39 degrees.
You will see that Naples and Pizza are listed on the Itinerary... well that all changed once we actually drove the car in the city of Naples. Horror over Horror. Cars everywhere, maniac drivers honking and squealing, traffic jams, people wandering in front of the car, beggars knocking on the car windows, and we were only just off the highway not even into the old part of town! We turned the car around as soon as we could and got out of town! Instead of Naples Pizza, we celebrated lunch in a quiet little town called Gaeta, on the coast.
We are exhausted tonight and are now tucked into a country hotel room at Villa Verdiana in Nettuno just 30 minutes from Rome. We head to Rome in the morning.
