A DAY AT SEA ON THE STAR PRINCESS, then
NAPLES, ITALY We had thought we'd go to Capri, but since the weather report included possible showers and 25 mph winds, we opted to skip the ferry ride and go for Plan B, to stay in Naples. Our expectations were low, and we were not disappointed. The place is crowded, dirty, and filled with garbage. Literally. Since we'd been to the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii, Herculaneum, and the National Archeological museum before, we skipped them and checked out the national museum of Capodimonti ('Capo' meaning 'boss' - 'di Monte' meaning 'of the hill.') It was some kind of former palace overlooking the city, and it has two floors, long hallways, and room after room of badly lit religious paintings badly in need of cleaning. We walked a good part of the way back to the ship, arriving in time for a late lunch.
