Napoli
I like mornings in Napoli. The narrow street outside our hotal is lined with lots of fish stalls, whose fish looked so fresh. Of course I didn't ask how much these cost. if I had they would expect me to buy some or they might even have persuaded me to buy some.
	Our wonderful 1-star hotel (Hotel Colombia ) was located close to the gate in the city wall , which was always lively, with many people passing by. Our hotel room was OK, just it was not like a 5-star hotel's Presidential suite.
Pompei
The Roman houses have kept their wall colours well, especially the frescos. We enjoyed looking at many of the frescos, especially the "ancient charm against evil" below.
Amalfi
I used to work for a 5-star hotel in Abu Dhabi, which had a famous Italian restaurant (famous in Abu Dhabi) called the "Amalfi". 'Amalifi' sounded very cute to me, but I didn't know where it was or what it looked like. Anyway we arrived at Amalfi after a drive along a long narrow winding, coast way. The view from the car windows was great...even better than that of the 'Amalfi'. We were so happy when we got there, because we didn't feel car sick anymore... Look! here's the view of the coast...
