The base offered a free bus trip down to an area of Naples called the Mergellina. Once dropped off we were able to go to the aquarium, walk through the park, and down along the waterfront to the Castel dell'Ovo.
Castel dell'Ovo (in Italian, Egg Castle) is a castle located on the former island of Megaride, now a peninsula, on the gulf of Naples. The castle's name comes from a legend about the Roman poet Virgil, who had a reputation in medieval times as a great sorcerer, that he put a magical egg into the foundations to support the fortifications.
The sights on the waterfront. We took this trip at the end of November so it was a bit chilly. If you notice we all have on long sleeves. However, I guess since the sun was shining it was okay for some folks to be half naked!?
And it appears that making out on the rocks in front of children is also quite acceptable.
Since it was around Thanksgiving time, Dante, my preschooler, told us that this ship was the Mayflower.
And it seems like everywhere you go in Naples the volcano is within sight.
Dante knows his ships...so just tell him that he is right on target. Everyone looks happy in the pictures except Khlin. It looks like the little one is staying close to Mom.
