Thursday - From Ship to Naples

After our experience with Air France on our way to Malta, I was pretty anxious about our flight from Valletta to Naples on Easyjet. Things could not have gone more smoothly. As soon as we walked off the ship, our luggage was loaded for us in a very clean late model black Mercedes, and our cheerful young driver whisked us off to the airport with an interesting commentary on life in Valletta in perfect English (he was half English).

We were prepared to have to show a raft of documents at the check in, but all we had to show was our boarding passes, which I gotten easily online, and our passports. Our bags were checked, and we made it through security in no time. Of course there was a lot of waiting before check in and boarding, but we are getting better at killing time. The flight was only one hour, and our bags were waiting for us when we arrived at baggage claim. We walked out of the airport with no customs passport check and had a cab in 5 minutes!

Our Airbnb host was waiting for us to help us with our luggage (I have a series of photos of the stairs up to our apartment). He gave us more information about the apartment and places to visit than we could digest, but we have been able to figure it all out. After another one of my heavy afternoon naps, we enjoyed a cocktail on our terrace and walked (a long way) to the recommended pizzeria down by the waterfront.

I asked for the wine list, and the waitress said “red or white”. That was the extent of the options. The extensive pizza menu was in Italian (no English version and no English spoken), so I ended up with an odd calzone that was 25% pizza crust. The salad with mozzarella and prosciutto was good. Then home to bed (3 miles round trip).
