How do we conquer Europe from the sea - part 7

Cruise the Mediterranean from Odessa to Barcelona and back (extension, p.7) It is time to return to Naples. Not the way back we had to spend a little time for the procedure, which was hitherto unknown to us - payment for the tollway highway. Prior to that, either in Paris or the Cote d'Azur was nowhere in such checkpoint, ie, items fare. Luckily, the Cashier was a lot like a good supermarket, and we did not lose much time. Once again, plenty of admiring Vesuvius, we arrived safely at Naples. Dividing line the streets decorated with shrubs grown in pots in the city took a little shopping, we bought a few pairs of shoes, some purchases were successful, but not all. So begins debunk the stereotype of shovels, entitled "Import means quality." Naples itself has produced a mixed impression. On the one hand, it was not crowded. However, perhaps the whole thing was in the holiday season. On the other hand, was everywhere apparent lack of sanitation. Twenty meters from the central square were merchants of clothing racks, and all around was so sketched any papers, even at the Odessa market, the 7-km "the administration of this disorder would not have allowed. Classical cobbles, boulders of which is clearly no demand for the local proletariat some of the manifestations of the holiday season we have seen firsthand. Next to our "cruise ship" held loaded cars on the ferry. We asked for future passengers about where they go. We were told that this ferry to the island of Sicily enjoyed mostly holidaymakers. From this place to the central area of ??Naples - no more than a hundred meters, we walked along the waterfront, replenish gin, and returned on board his ship. The next morning we arrived at the port of Livorno. Here torture is waiting for shore leave has proceeded, we are "pickled" in port more than two hours. But any expectation sooner or later is rewarded, and we waited. As planned "organized" trips to Florence and Pisa, we decided not to engage in "spontaneous" and got on a bus together with other excursionists of our ship. Of course, we've looked. Naturally, we could not see themselves so much. But there is a negative point, because of the abundance of information we have virtually nothing to remember. Listen to the guide can be an hour and a half can. But when, within six hours, almost without interruption (in the bus, too, something told) you "loaded" let interesting but monotonous text, the result is zero, remember anything is possible only with great difficulty. Especially 10 years after the trip. I can confidently recall (asking readers to be generous and not laugh out loud), so this is the moment when the tour guide in Florence, said that their city's football team called Fiorentina. My situation is compounded by the fact that excursions to Florence and Pisa occurred just at the peak of my OCR (it was my turn to suffer from air-conditioning and wind "revitalizing" the factors in our "superliner"). Therefore, I only had enough and that to do pictures. Naturally, I spent some time in search of those buildings, which are depicted at me, trying to find them in Russian and English online. However, apart from the main attractions that are in each booklet, almost nothing has been found. Start material: Read more:
