Naples


I am off to Naples today. Andrea and Kaira are safely back in New Zealand. I am there for a week speaking at various churches.

Naples is the capital of the region of Campania. The city is known for its rich history, art, culture and gastronomy, playing an important role throughout much of its existence; it is over 2,800 years old. Naples is located halfway between two volcanic areas, the volcano Mount Vesuvius and the Phlegraean Fields, sitting on the coast by the Gulf of Naples.

The metropolitan area of Naples is the third most populated in Italy after Milan and Rome (some say the second) and the 15th largest in Europe with around 3.8 million people.

Naples is the birthplace of pizza!!
