Meredith’s Perugia #15: Another Weekend Destination That Meredith Might Have Loved

Posted by Our Main Posters

Vesuvius, the Bay of Naples, Pompeii, Sorrento, and the truly spectacular Amalfi coast

Would Meredith have headed here? Well, almost every new resident of Italy does tend to, as soon as they can make it! A startlingly blue and busy bay, towns atop high cliffs, a volcano active in the last century, several beautiful islands, and almost endless fun, food, history and culture.

Meredith could easily have arrived here from Perugia in three or four hours along the autostrada,

This first of several posts tracks the shoreline of Naples from east to west. From sunrise over Vesuvius to the Naples seaport, the two waterfront castles (Maschio Angioino and Castel Dell’ovo), and the corniche and marina of the Mergellina waterfront area.

Some of the best floodlighting in the world is absolutely transforming Italy at night, by the way. In Perugia but not yet Naples, Meredith may well have noticed.

Beautiful photos.
What’s new with the state of the criminal liar?

More nice shots Pete, looking at them it is hard to fathom how the supporters of Amanda Knox paint a picture of Italy like they do - of being some kind of anarchaic 3rd world backwater populated by backward savages hellbent on sending innocent people to prison for life for crimes they haven’t committed.It simply just does not make sense.
