Greetings from Naples. Today was one of the more relaxed days of our trip. This morning we departed from Rome at a quarter to nine, to take a three hour trip to Naples by bus, encountering only one accident, causing major time delays and the shortening of lunch. "We were devastated". After what was left of lunch, we went on a guided tour of the Archaelogical Museum of Naples, in which we had the chance to view enormous and elaborate sculptures and mosaics. About an hour into our guided tour we entered a secret room, in which we took more photos than we anywhere else. This is due to the abundance of "phallic symbols" which were seen as good luck. After the museum we caught the bus to our hotel and had a couple of hours to spare until dinner. Our dinner consisted of three courses, margherita pizza for the entreé, grilled fish and salad for the main course and what we refer to as the "soggy muffin" which none of us were particularly impressed with. Now down to business, we know that you love and miss us, as we do you but we ask that families can keep their messages for all of their loved ones short and sweet. Also Brad spoke with Ambassador Tim Fischer on ABC radio and they will continue to keep in contact with us three times during the rest of the trip :-)
Laura & Mitch.
