Last two stops

The last two stops, we didn't do an excursion so we were on our own to wander and figure out something to do.  It was so hot on both of the days.  We went to Naples first, then Palma de Mallorca.  My ultimate favorite was Palma de Mallorca.  I loved that island.  It was so pretty and almost tropical in some cases, but still had historical places, such as cathedrals, and castles.  Naples, was dirty.  Like piles of garbage all over the streets.  It was pretty gross.  But I found some delicious gelato there.  One thing we kept on forgetting is you have to have your shoulders and knees covered in order to get into the cathedrals.  I die in hot weather, so I would have the knee part covered, but I would wear a tank top or something with the long skirt.  So I wasn't allowed in anywhere.  We got some stunning pictures in Palma, not so much in Naples because we didn't really see that much.  Italian people are super friendly too.  We never felt taken advantage of or anything for not being able to speak the language.  We had a great experience on this trip, and it was nice to go on such an amazing trip together and get away from everything!

 A castle we found in Naples


 Apparently a cannon ball was still stuck in a door, they had it on display

 Pretty cathedrals I couldn't go in
 These are the back streets that we found.  Notice, no tourists.  
 Palma de Mallorca




 The streets were extremely different, notice clean







Palma had more of a tropical feel, extremely pretty place.
