Capri was gorgeous – really lived up to its reputation.
The ferry ride took about 40 mins. It was quite rough up the front of the boat, and even though I don’t get seasick, my head was a bit iffy by the time we landed.

Naples day 3 – Capri

Naples day 2 part 2
We went out for dinner last night. Who would have thought Sunday night would be such a challenge?
After Saturday’s food challenge we decided to ask the hotel to ring the restaurant to a) make sure they were open, and b) ensure they could do gf pizza. Since R and I were recovering from too much sun, blearily awakening from a nap, T took charge and made friends with Mario, the guy on reception. ALL the places on my list were closed, so he pulled up the AIC website and started calling the places on their list.

Naples day 2 – Pompeii
Last night we went to Ciro’s for dinner, which was listed in the GF guide to Italy bo0k. Unfortunately they couldn’t offer me GF pizza unless we’d phoned in advance, but they had pasta. I had a seafood pasta with clams, baby octopus, prawns, mussels, tomato and olive oil. Delish! We had a white wine to go with dinner, and dessert. How temping is this dessert stand? They wheel it over to your table so you’re FORCED to have something. I had a strawberry panna cotta which was looovely.

naples day 1
Hmm.. Naples is… interesting. It’s got a pretty dodgy feel, and Piazza Garibaldi where the train station is, is definitely dodgy. Feels more like Cairo than Italy!
The hotel is pretty good though – we’ve traded location for hotel quality. It’s four star, with a volcano out the window! 
We went looking for lunch, and this area doesn’t have a lot to offer. There’s a couple of pizza/panini places, but not much that seem to offer GF. Good thing the hotel restaurant does!
