Set off early doors for Napoli, bought the Gazzetta dello Sport for the journey... Albana bought some playing cards, which were not your conventional 52 english ones (which she wanted, god she was pissed off), it was an italian alternative, which you could play in two ways, but we both had no idea... (more to follow on this story).
Arrived in Napoli and went on a mission to find the campsite... we arrived at the position on the map to find it to be a resturant... Albana had done a classic and booked a campsite on the other side of Bay of Naples in Sorrento (Classic...?! i think not).
So off we went to Sorrento instead... after a steady walk back in the rain to the station... moral was at a high... i tell thee!!!!!!!!!!
After a slightly longer trip we set up the tent for our first night under the stars in our very cheap and cheerful tent... it went up a treat, it was cosy and compact to say the least!
To get over the nightmare day we hit the streets of Sorrento to see what it was all about... we started at the off licence and bought a great bottle of Spumante for 2 euro's 50, bargain, for sure more will be purchased and headed for a kebab to settle the stomach!
Albana unsuprisingly got in an argument with the owner of the Kebab house about something, one of her great traits, that will always keep me entertained!... but the best thing is she always walks away with something free... not gonna complain!
We then went to the worst English pub of all time, it beats the Robin Hood in Florence, we headed to the "Garden Disco" where we took our free shot and we bought a tennants... we didn't stay long due to the DJ playing mainly late 90's Hip Hop and R&B, once we confronted him on this, we were informed he had only brought American Music with him... strange that for an English pub gig!!!!!
The last straw was Maria Carey... we soon excited!
We then headed to an Irish Bar over the road and successfully chatted shit for a couple of hours, mainly to Irish folk,(which was random for an Italian Irish Bar) taking in the process my first pint of Wife Beater (Stella) for 10 months, luckily enough for Albana it was only the one, so the tent was safe for her to sleep in that evening!
