Will, Ben and Nevil

Buon giorno di napoli! We had an interesting night a couple of days ago as we approached naples passing many well-dressed young ladies on the way who were providing a seemingly popular local service. Naples is well known for the best pizza in the world, the best buffalo-milk mozzarella and a mafia more industrious than most. It is not the place you want to park a big white british van – it doesnt really blend in. For starters it hasnt got nearly enough scrapes, dents to look napolitan (this may suprise those who have actually seen our van!). Anyway we had been warned not to leave a vehicle in the city at anytime of the day, so for the night we managed to find a beach side car park outside of the city surrounded by heroin-fuelled locals on crime sprees and which required a guard dog, a night watchman and a locked ring fence. When day broke Ben had great fun driving through the city unfortunately receiving no bonus points for hitting any crazy italian motorcyclists. After a hot but interesting visit to pompei we said sad farewells to Lucy and Sam who are heading home soon. Now heading back north beyond rome to meet up with Laura & John near Pisa, Yas in Elba and Tom somewhere as yet undecided!
