SUP IM IN NAPLES!!
its really cute here, and only slightly sketchy and dirty!
I actualy really like it though.
our hostel is called Giovanni's, and hes this super nice italian guy that loves naples. we got in and for like, an hour, he showed us on this map all of the things we should do and see and how to get to the cool places and everything.
one of the most famous pizzerias in italy (Gino Sorbillo's) is right down the street, and the guy who started it, totes invented the calzone!!! we went there last night with some really nice australian friends that we made here, and it was absolutely freaking delicious. i think im obsessed, and we'll probalby go again tonight.
he freaking invented the freaking calzone.
today me and jake just walked down to the harbour, and went into this fortress thats right on the ocean, and just explored for a while.
in about five minutes we're going to this underground tour of like, old naples...i think
anyways it soundsjust so cool.
naples is really beautiful, and only kind of sketchy.
giovanni showed us on the map where mafia territory was, so we're going to avoid that area for a bit probs.
tomorrow we plan on pompeii, which should be very cool to see.
we decided that we arent going to do greece, because its quite expensive, and when we go, we want to have time to island hop and enjoy it all, and probably go there in the summer ish time when the weather is really nice.
its a good thing, too, because it gives us more time in italy and germany, which we really wanted and kind of needed.
we cant figure out where to stay in venice, because all of the hostels are awkward/expensive/ gross...sooo.....we're not too sure where we stand on that front yet.
other than that, my lungs are killing me, so im hoping that the more halls i have, the better i will get.
i really like italy.
and pizza.
mmmm...
okay, love you all!!

In Venice, we stayed at a hostel called Ostello Santa Fosca. It was ok, not too expensive. (18 Euro each but if you have this thing called the venice card which gives you discounts everywhere to like museums and such and only costs 4 euros, the hostel gives you a discount too)
ReplyDeleteIt was an ok hostel. the only real downside was that girls and boys have separate dorms. it was a bit run down but not too bad.
its an optiion if yoou cant find anywhere else.

Taylor! I'm so impressed that you are in Naples! I don't anyone who's been there before! The closest experience I have is eating Neapolitan ice cream. (Ok, well the chocolate part. Mmmm..chocolaty!) I'm glad you've found other English-speakers to hang out with; it makes it more fun! You really seem to be enjoying Italy. I can just imagine you and Jake on a Vespa, with a cappuccino in one hand, a calzone in the other, singing arias from Verdi's operas as you toss coins into the Trevi fountain from the Tower of Pisa. Something like that. Take care! Martin.
ReplyDeleteI checked out some you tube videos of Giovannis hostel. OMG looks like fun. Nice guy. Did he sing for you guys? Did you sing along and learn some Italian? What a blast! I wanna go to Italy. and drink wine. lots of it. Except I'm too old to stay in a hostel. Anna
