Naples

As promised, here are some piccies from Naples and the surrounding area. It was freezing cold and poured with rain most of the time we were there, but we still managed to see some good stuff, and of course eat lots of pizza!



Palazzo Reale in the centre of Naples

Charles II of Bourbon's Palace at Caserta

Herculaneum. Sharon seemed to find 2,000 year old cobble-stones strangely exciting...
