Sat.12th.Nov.
One of those days today!! Took a walk down the hill to Capodimonte and had a look around the church of Santo Ennerious, St. January. Nice church!! Reason for going was really to get a couple of pictures looking across Napoli from up high. Worth the walk. Phoned Julie while we were out and had the cheapest coffee since we arrived in Italy, 75c. each, very good it was too!! Left our car park and headed for a site in Pompei which had all facilities including laundry. Got into awful scrape, got under low bridge by inches and fought our way up narrow road against angry Italian motorists who had to move over and give way. Not something they ever do willingly or with good grace. Found site eventually and thought our problems were over. Oh no. Trees everywhere, low trees, narrow roadways and almost impossibly small pitches. An ordeal not to be repeated. Camping Zeus is the name of the site. Give it a wide berth if you are ever in this neck of the woods. Found a pitch, got set up and went to do washing. Only one machine working, tumble drier out of order. Set machine, €3.50 and discovered it wasn't washing properly. Strung some rope between trees, (at last they came in handy!) and managed to get most dry. Man in reception most unhelpful. Site €17 per night. 17 less 7 for botched washing. Cheap night. Tomorrow moving onto another site, along the road with washing machines that work. Re-wash washing!! If time will do Vesuvius. Jan's dinner saved the day.
