A Week in Pizza Paradise

As I mentioned in my last blog , Naples is the pizza capital of the world! When we got to Naples from Rome we got in a taxi to go to our apartment. We loved our apartment.  It was huge and had a big terrace on the roof of the building. The fun part was that we found a soccer ball and played soccer on the roof. So fun until Peyton kicked the ball off the roof! After our fun on the terrace was our fist dinner in Napoli which is Naples in Italian.  Dinner was amazing. The pizza was great. After a great night of sleep, we went to Sorrento by boat. It was beautiful. We had lunch on a terrace that overlooked the ocean. I was right at home! We took the boat back to Naples. We went to Pompeii which is an amazing village that was near Vesuvius. About 2,000 years ago, Mount Vesuvius exploded and demolished Pompeii. Pompeii was very neat, and it was cool to see how they lived way back then. The next day we went to and island called Capri. One of the things that it is famous for is it's blue grotto. The blue grotto was amazing. We entered by a row boat and even had to lay down in this tiny boat to get in the opening of the grotto. The grotto was the most beautiful blue that you have ever seen. The sun came in through the bottom, and it was so awesome that I wish I could live there or at the very least dive in. After the grotto, we went on a chairlift that went to the top of the island. It is a one person chair lift. It was so fun going up. We could see the whole island. When we got to the top, you could see the ocean forever. We went back to Naples and of course had a great dinner. It has been a great week. Sadly, Naples is the end of Italy. I will miss pizza and spaghetti. Now off to have some tea with the Queen in London.
