La bella, spaghetti, azzuri!!!!

I'm of to Naples in May, having just booked my tickets.... J was already going on a uni field trip and I am going out to join her for a few days before she starts. Can't honestly say it's somewhere I ever had a particular desire to visit, but now I'm going I'm very excited. We're going to climb up to the crater of Vesuvius, visit Pompeii and hang out in the city for a day as well. My impression of Naples is of a teeming city perched precariously between the bay and the mountains with loads of bustle and shady dealings in the back streets. Can't wait to find out if it's true.
