Naples, Part 1

Ok, well Naples is going well. The weather was crap for the first two days. it was about 13 degrees but it was raining a lot. We basically just walked around the city and saw it. It looks like mexico. The traffic here is awful. Rome is chaotic because everyone does what they want on the streets, but here there is so much more traffic and so many more cars than Rome. So they have traffic jams everywhere in the city and then they just honk and honk... the scooters and mopeds weave in and out of the sidewalks because its faster. Ambulances are stuck in the middle forever. The city as I said is really dirty and pretty dangerous I think. Cars have devices on their steering wheels that resemble a tire boot.
2 days ago we were thinking of going to Pompeii, but when we got outside it was raining so much. Instead we went to the Archaeological Museum of Naples that housed many of the original things in Pompeii. Everything in there was only in Italian, so we got some audio guides. Those were crap. They probably had only 10 different things explained through the guide.

Two nights ago Ryan got really drunk and we went out with a bunch of Aussies and Canadians from the first hostel. Everything was closed and we found a place and had a beer. Ryan woke up at around noon the next day.
Yesterday we went to Pompeii and the weather was actually really good. It was more than 10 degrees and it was sunny outside. We spent about 3 hours at Pompeii and saw a lot of the ruins and a couple of the bodies that the ash made holes of. Some of the ruins were amazing, since it was destroyed about 2000 years ago. But a lot of it was just what you would expect. It was actually a huge city - hundreds of acres.
Last night we moved to a different hostel, the Hostel of the Sun. There we met more Canadians and Americans. We went out to dinner and got some drinks and brought them back to the hostel. At about 1am Alex and Ryan and a canadian Natalie wanted to go out. By then they were drunk enough to want to go out at 1am (exactly). So I was debating going out or not - Ryan was really drunk again. I said I would only go out if we went to a bar and not a club, and that was fine with them. So we were walking to some suggested places and they were all closed again. We knew where an Irish pub was and that too was closed. On the way to that though there was a club. I wasnt in a good mood, Ryan was slapping cars as they drove by... but it was already 2am by the time we showed up to the club and they werent letting anyone in anymore because it was so late. In any case apparently (i already started walking back at this point so i didnt see any of it) Ryan (acted) drunk so they would let him in (?), and they didnt like that and they pushed him back to the street, and then another guy pushed him and then they hit him in the face. Then they went back to the hostel. What a great night. glad i went out. (no). In any case Ryan is sleeping in the main room of our hostel where he passed out still.. its 11am.

Today we are going to the Island of Capri - the weather is really nice. Clear skies but its only 8 degrees. Might be windier on the island.

Tomorrow it should start raining again so I dont really know what to do. We were thinking of climbing Mt. Vesuvius - there is a train station and they say its only a 1.6km trek to the crater. But it could be snowing up there so I dont know what we will do. Amalfi coast?

Then there is the day after that. No idea what to do. I will update how that went
