Authentic Bites, Boundless Yums
The last day in Naples was spent hiking Vesuvio, which meant there was also some time to relax. After all, you can’t walk all day, can you? 😆🤣
When it came to dinner, I was getting a little unsure of what to eat – because Napoli hadn’t exactly offered anything exciting or insanely delicious so far.
I had booked a trip/hiking tour to Vesuvio on the following day.
Amidst the Italian expedition, a day dedicated to Vesuvio unfolded, promising an encounter with nature’s raw power. While the thought of Pompeji raised solemn thoughts, the allure of Vesuvio, a volcano steeped in history, beckoned me.
Choosing to pay homage in my own way, I embarked on a journey with a guided tour from Napoli’s central station. The destination? Sentiero del Gran Cono – the gateway to Vesuvio’s mystical depths. So the group was dropped of there, and from here we were on our own.
After a less-than-stellar start in Napoli, the following day I decided to set sail for the breathtaking island of Capri. Embarking from Port Napoli, a guided tour awaited, promising a day to remember. Little did I know, that it was in for a treat of nature’s finest offerings.
Napoli Adventures: Expectations vs. Reality
A spontaneous trip to Italy, as I was “forced” to take a 2 weeks holiday due to summer shutdown. You know, I am that kind of person who only wants to take leaves when I really feel for it, and not because the workplace decides to do so 🤣
But as an employee, you can’t decide everything, and as a manager, you have the right to force your employees to take vacation. So you have to respect that. Without a doubt 🫡
I thought that I could easily manage 2 weeks in Denmark, but as I approached the weeks, I actually became more and more annoyed, so I spontaneously decided to book a trip to Italy. I thought I would travel to Napoli and Rome this time. I have, in 2006, been to Rome in connection with a study trip. a study trip, and it was really cool. I fell in love with Rome! So of course I had to see this beautiful city again! Napoli was another gem on my bucket list, dating back to my childhood when I loved watching Tom & Jerry. There was an episode where the two crazy characters end up in 🤣Napoli, so I had to do that too. Fun, right? Then, at the age of 35, I thought “well, there was Naples too”, especially now that my brother has also been to the city and seen some things. So why not? 🙃
