Rare drron29 Posted April 19, 2023 Author #501 Share Posted April 19, 2023 In these small streets I did find a couple of the recommended pizza places but they were still closed or had a crowd of people so I kept going. Every second restaurant was selling pizza but you couldn't see a pizza oven which you could in the recommended places. They all looked the same so with apologies to Malvina Reynolds and others wo sang this song. Little boxes, little boxes And they all had a piece of pizza and they all looked just the same. I just couldn't help having that song go through my head forc some time afterwards. But back to boring old buildings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted April 19, 2023 Author #502 Share Posted April 19, 2023 I was now on one of the main streets which led back to the port. Let me tell you that the traffic here in Naples is crazier than I have seen elsewhere in Itally. You are not safe even on a Pedestrian crossing with a green walk sign. The motor cyclists will still come through. On one intersection a light truck came roaring around an intersection as I was about to step onto the crossing. Fortunately I saw him in time. But if something had happened he was prepared for on the back of the truck was a coffin. Back again to the buildings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare drron29 Posted April 19, 2023 Author #505 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Then lunch at Kaiseki. They had a new member of the team from Thailand. She was pleased that I recognised she had a Thai name. I had sashimt followed by a beef bowl. Rojaan wasn't feeling hungry and had a California roll and salmon sashimi followed by coconut ice cream. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare RachelG Posted April 21, 2023 #512 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Just binge read to catch up as George and I were in Japan on Regent, then I had a ton of work to catch up on. Love your photos. The hospital in Barcelona looks interesting. Sorry about Rojaan’s knee and hope it is better soon. I must say, you are looking very svelte. Have you lost weight, or is it just the camera angle? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted April 21, 2023 Author #513 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Thanks for noticing Rachel. I finally retired at the end of February 2022 and decided I needed to look after myself better. Lost 25 KG (55lb) and certainly feel better. And thank you to the person on the whisper who alerted the entertainers on the Moon that I had posted pictures of their Queen performance on CC. My popularity has soared. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted April 22, 2023 Author #514 Share Posted April 22, 2023 So that night it was a change to the Pool grille and Hot Rocks. Rojaan decided to go again with the lamb cutlets as she loves them but only cooked well done. So she likes being in charge of the cooking. I went for the signature dish with a range of meat and fish choices. I just wanted ton try it but once is enough and I will go back to the fillet steak next time. We did have deserts tonight, Fresh fruit and coconut icecream for Rojjan and cheesecake with pistachio icecream for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the fat stains from cooking your own food will come out of your shirt? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory shouldn't get fat stains - you have a 'bib' and there isn't a lot of fat to begin with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted April 23, 2023 Author #517 Share Posted April 23, 2023 The next day we left Naples at 5am and reached Sorrento about 8am. Some scenes as we approached our anchoring spot. The first tender heads to shore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted April 23, 2023 Author #518 Share Posted April 23, 2023 The first tour on it's way to Pompei. About 1030 I went into town for a walk. Wandered around the old town with it's narrow streets. Lots of people and motorcycles which didn't care that they were not allowed in some pedestrian only spots. Though the biggest problem in those places were electric bikes and scooters which you don't hear coming with many of the users going at high speeds. Sorry but they should be banned from those areas. So now a pictorial of my wandering. I went up the stairs rather than catching the shuttle. Need to burn off some of those excess calories. You come out in a little square. Had to fight my way through a couple of large groups of school kids on excursion. So went into the church and forgot to remove my cap. An old nun was doing some tidying up and gave me a look that I am sure was meant to kill. Quickly removed the offending cap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
