napoli - bagno ideal

Napels - Tuesday 4th of June - 7848 steps

Woke up ridiculously early to witness this sunrise. Back to sleep for a few hours to wake up at a more normal time and have breakfast with Vesuvius, which you almost could get used to, but it is of course really unique. What a view!

Today a beach day at the downstairs neighbors of Bagno Ideal. Lunch on the beach. We stayed mainly in the shade under the parasol and often had a dip in the Gulf of Naples and the water temperature is already perfect.

The bagno closes at 5 p.m., we just have to cross the street to freshen up before having aperitifs at Casa Infante on the swing bench. Lovely lazy day.

In the evening we had dinner between the locals of Posilippo. Antipasti at Elettroforno on the atmospheric square Piazza S. Luigi.

napoli - from posillipo to palazzo dello spagnolo

Napels - Sunday 2nd of June - 37657 steps

Waking up very early to the sound of the seagulls and the magical soft light of this sunday morning sunrise. Buongiorno Vesuvio!

While the cheerfully colored Italian beach beds at Bagno Elena and Bagno Ideal are lined up straight in front of us, we are having breakfast with a view!

After our first espresso & characteristic sweet Italian breakfast, an uphill morning walk to take a closer look at the Posillipo district and book a table at Ristorante Reginella for tonight. And from here, a breathtaking view of Golfo di Napoli as reward for the hill we climbed.

Via Chiaia to Quartieri Spagnoli, perhaps the most famous district of Naples, with colorful streets full of street art, shops, restaurants and above all, Maradona.

We walk without a plan and enjoy the Napoli-spectacle with as many breaks as possible on terraces.

After a moment of rest at home and after sunset, up the hill of Posillipo again for dinner. This time with an extra challenge, on heels.
