May 1st was Italy's Labor Day. It happened to fall on a Tuesday, so we took a long weekend trip down south to Napoli and Capri. I had been to Napoli before two other times, and I can say now after being a third I don't need to go back for quite some time and if I never return it'll be ok.
Napoli is rustic, earthy, natural, and real. It's true that there is garbage everywhere, they don't paint the buildings every year so the paint is peeling, the graffiti isn't cleaned up... it's raw society.
Capri is a large theme park for adults. The population is only 10,000 an they have more visitors than that every day. You have to wait 30 minutes to get a bus ticket, then 45 minutes to get on the bus, and a small lemon granita costs $6. Despite the tourism, it is a very beautiful island with gorgeous views.
