Travel Finds... Naples, Italy

I visited Italy multiple times, but this was my first time in Naples.  I have to tell you, Naples is a world on its own, it is completely different from anything I knew about Italy.  Naples has its own beauty.  If I can sum up my impression of Naples in one sentence - it is beautiful, crazy, charming, simple and complicated all in one.  I would like to go back again.  If you ever go there, enjoy this interesting place, but I suggest you not to rent a car in Naples.  If you were not born there or lived long enough and have nerves to drive their streets the way Neapolitan do, don't even try.  Period.

I think that Napoli's police uniform is very cool.  Also, I asked policemen to pose for my photo and they DID!  

Famous Neapolitan Pastry - Sfogliatelle

View of the Vomero hill on the background, the best spot to see Naples from the bird eye view.  People use funicular to get up there.
