Friday October 8th

[13:26 EDT]

Lunch time here. We are not long back from our cycle ride around the Naples area. We're grabbing a bite to eat before heading down to the beach.

[22:55 EDT]

Back in the room after a long day. It started with a crash as I lightly brushed a tall ornamental stand placed near the bathroom, on the top of it used to stand an ornamental plate... you can guess the rest :(

After this we walked down to the centre of Old Naples and met up with Marcie who runs a cycle tour. We cycled around with her for a couple of hours as she pointed out the amazing homes that we were going past.

The whole area was full of places like this, a lot much bigger too. The landscaping in the area was amazing, together with the lines of palms that edged the roads. The traffic was very light so the three of us just wandered around the roads looking over the wonderful scenery. The weather was perfect and thankfully it wasn't too hot. I've added a small Google Earth file to show where we went.

All in all - it was a great way to spend a couple of hours!

Back at the hotel we changed and went back to the beach area for the remainder of the afternoon, chilling out on the sand until the sun had gone down.

Finally, we left the beach and went out for something to eat, we opted for the Cheesecake factory, but didn't manage to actually get a cheesecake as the portions there were just too big!
