Duigald and I left Bassetto at 7am to get the train to Napoli. Napoli is the first major city south of Rome near the famous Amalfi coast but basically anything south of Rome in Italy is extremely different. Napoli has one of the worst crime and unemployment rates in the country, probably next to Palermo (our next point of call) and we were prepared for dodgy neighbourhoods, people and anything. On first leaving the train station an old man stopped us and told us to be careful. However we were pleasantly surprised. It is busy, the endless toot of horns, scooters whizzing in and out of alleys and on main streets, the drivers riding without helmets and care. Small alley ways would have led further into despair and poverty but we were content to look down most of these only on first arrival. Anything off the main street was ever so narrow so the buildings almost touched at the top, leaning towards each other heavy with laundry and antennaes. We made our way to a park where we passed an hour or two as it was so hot, lying on the grass before a man on a bicycle told us to move on.
