We drove down from Rome to Naples today with only one slight hitch, the GPS was set to avoid toll roads, so we drove all over Hell and Creation until I realised the problem. The A1 was a very smooth fast road with three lanes, no issues except the Italian drivers who think that driving in two lanes is better than one. We got to Naples and found that L.A. freeways are used by the most polite and defferent drivers in the world. These guys are nuts! I finally managed to get on to the tram track and follwed a tram to our hotel. Many motor scooters and small bikes totally ignore the traffic rules; they run red lights, go the wrong way up one way streets, and generally tempt fate at every street corner.
The hotel is fantastic with a wonderful balcony and a view out over the sea.

On Saturday we head for Pompeii.
Ciao Bella.
