We took ourselves off South to Naples today, specifically to the Botanic Gardens. This time the traffic wasn't so bad, although the continuous built-up area and endless succession of traffic lights makes sure it's a tedious business, even if it's not all that far. It's certainly a wealthy area; on the way back there were two Bentleys visible together at one point. We also saw a few Teslas, a V-12 Mercedes, a 7-series BMW, a Maserati, an Audi A8, Range Rovers, etc. etc. No doubt many of the native and Japanese cars are at the expensive end of the spectrum too. The licence plates are from every State of the union plus Canada. There were lots of orchids, naturally, which were lovely as well as the red-flowered plant happily growing on a host tree. The gardens were lovely but as it was rather warm (33!) we decided to cool off in our apartment! We made a very brief stop at the docks in Naples itself before heading back to the cool of our apartment. A typical scene ...
