    Van Life In Naples, Italy was NOT what we expected.



    Van Life In Naples, Italy was NOT what we expected.

    Check out the Pizza cooking class we did: https://getyourguide.tp.st/rns0UU4d

    Naples, Italy – Is it SAFE for VAN LIFE? We’ve all heard the stereotypes – a city rife with petty crime, rubbish and graffiti everywhere, pickpockets – we decided to visit Naples with an open mind, and while yes, there is trash and grafitti, the people of Naples are warm and friendly, and the city has a great vibe and energy.

    We checked out the main things to see in Naples and of course, being the birthplace of Pizza, we did a Pizza Cooking Class – we learnt ALL THE THINGS we were doing wrong with our home made Pizza!! The results were delicious!

      Fior di latte means cow milk mozzarella …. mozzarella di bufala means buffalo milk mozzarella-
      Fior di latte it's less milky it's better the pizza will be less watery

      Naples looks amazing. Been on my list to get to for years. I enjoyed your pizza class and those views from the top of that fort. What a glorious city. I have friends who always make it their base when in Italy, as Robert's maternal family originally hales from that area. They have seen it with knee deep garbage, but still keep going back for the food, sights, ambience and a lot less tourists. Happy New Year. May 2025 bring you both lots of safe and fulfilling travel and the good health to enjoy it! Cheers. Now I'm off to make an Aperol Spritz myself! 😂

      The first castle only 800yrs old could be one of the younger castles in Italy and why it was named as it was being the younger castle. That pizza making class was amazing, only 90seconds as well in the oven. That other castle you went into for only 5 Euro definitely looked very worth it. Thanks for another travel vlog.

      You missed some big point of interest like the veiled Christ, underground city, the street food and much more (like you said the museums and some Caravaggio's are the main things to see).

      That guy wasn't probably try to rob you, we have the bad habit to stare at people, sometimes beyond the reasonable amount of time. It's not considered unpolite (I find it a little too much myself tbh).

      Sometimes pickpocketing happens but the frequency is like in any other city and in these last decade I can say that the city center is safer than Rome and Milan's (data in hands), it was not the case like 20 years ago.

      The gentrification process of those areas of the city was huge and those streets that were home of the poorest part of the society are now B&B, food spots, tourist attractions. Bad for the idendity but good for business.

      I suggest you don't miss Herculaneum and Cuma. You can also go see Bacoli and the solfatara of Pozzuoli (google all of this).

      Grazie per il bellissimo video su Napoli e grazie per aver evidenziato tutti gli stereotipi negativi su questa splendida città italiana. La prossima volta dovete assolutamente visitare il Palazzo Reale di Napoli e se avrete tempo, facendo pochi chilometri andate a vedere la spettacolare Reggia di Caserta! Un abbraccio a voi due❤️

      AS I was bound to say, that pizza making class looked awesome and terrific fun as well. Next Week: Nigel turns the entire motor home into a Pizzeria, complete with oven!! Thanks again Nigel & Sue for another excellent video.

      We overnighted part way up vesuvius in our camper, can't say exactly where but it was someplace where large busses . terminated and turned around. It overlooked the city.
      Great vid😊

      Great video Nigel & Sue! Naples is a bit 'rough around the edges' but its a great entry point/city for getting down to the Sorrento coast and Pompeii. You captured the city well in this video, love the quality of your footage!
