Nippily Napoli

Dear Viewers

After a grueling 40 hours in transit which included 2 ferries, 3 trains and a bus, we finally managed to arrive in Napoli. Not long into our journey we met another Canadian who was a carbon copy of our childhood friend Geoff Vishloff. Our commute from Athens to Patras in Greece was supposed to be one simple train ride but Geoff seemed to know what was happening and thus we blindly followed him onto 2 different trains and a bus. We should have known, never trust a Vishloff.

When we first arrived in Italy, Mike Cortese had his people well organized against us, as the first Italian we met attempted to scam us with a taxi ride, you're going to have to do better than that Mike.

When we arrived in Naples we had a few hostels ready to check out thinking this would simplify things greatly. Oh were we wrong. On the way to the first hostel, we misinterpreted our position on the map and thus ventured into the slums of the city for way too long before realizing we had to turn around completely. After about 75 minutes we finally reached the address of the hostel only to find there was no hostel on that street at all. Our next option was well across town but it at least existed. We headed there and settled in for the night.

Today we visited Pompeii, and explored the ruins of the ancient city. There were a lot of old rocks.



"Why are there so many Italians?"

They're planning on reviving this guy by 2050


These poor kids never had a chance


These were the best preserved people in the whole town

  1. Dirty mike always planning against you guys. Im still a little rattled that you would even set foot in that filthy country, but i guess your going to have to wheel a "mary" somehow. Keep on keeping on, seems like your having fun. How are the poopers anyways? A bit strange?
