Not being of suicidal tendancy, we didn't fancy cycling through Naples, so, after a lot of camping wild in gorgeous places (it's uncanny how lucky we've been finding amazing places to sleep - we had a beautiful campsite totally to ourselves in Formia!), we finally booked into a cheap hotel in Capua and caught the train in. This proved prudent - Naples is utter chaos (did I mention something about 'on the verge of anarchy' earlier?)
The main reason for going there was to visit Pompei, which is pretty impressive. Not everyone feels the same way tho' - after a life of slavery, this poor guy got buried under 6 metres of ash from Mount Vesuvius (which is also quite impressive).
