Naples -- a non touristy treasure city

Ah... Naples.  Helen and I visited Naples for one day in 2009 and agree wholeheartedly with what is said about this unusual city here. It has a very real old world feeling.  How about the incredible buildings surrounding the endless square in one of the pictures? What's more we lucked out in finding the Reggia di Capodimonte Museum which was full of incredible Medieval paintings from the Farnese family collection one would expect to find in Le Louvre, El Prado or St Peter's.  Here are a few shots from that museum and a few from around Naples while on our very informal taxicab tour. A city build amongst hills and on the water as well.

Our secret find of a museum with many different galleries all beautifully organized.

 The museum viewed from an inside courtyard.  It dates from the early 17th century.

 A landmark palm tree just in front of the museum.

 Naples is a city one should not miss on any visit to Italy and yet most people do.  Our driver "proudfully" poses
