But I had so much in the town of Naples that I decided to dedicate a seperate post all together. Naples is nearly 5 hours by train from Rome.

The first sight you will be greeted in Naples is the Mount Vesuvius in the background and the amazing coastline. But it is also famous for one of the most famed dish of all time-the home of Neapolitan cuisine and the famed Pizza ..read more

Hi guys, just back from my trip to Spain. Spain was on my radar list for long and it did not disappoint me a bit.
