Sunday drive to Pozzuoli and Baia

We took a drive past the bay of Naples to Pozzuoli.  It is a busy town with beautiful views of the islands of Capri, Ischia, and Procida.  We went to the Pozzuoli Anfiteatro Flavio e Serapeo.  It was an ancient Amphitheater, similar to the Coliseum in Rome, but this Today we took a drive down past the bay of Naples.  We went to the town of one was older.  This one also allowed you to tour the entire amphitheater.  We were able to walk through the middle of it and feel what it would be like to be on stage, if it was used for a play.  But we also got to go underneath the stage to where they had rooms that housed more gladiators, lions, and stuff for stage productions.  The theater had holes in the ground where they must have had elevators of some sort to bring things up from the bottom.  We decided that it certainly made the coolest place to play hide and seek!!

We took a drive into Baia.  This is a wealthy beach community.  It would be a neat place to live except the traffic is bad since there really is only one road in and out.  It was a beautiful drive up the rocky coast.  Gorgeous views from the top.  We stopped and had a seafood lunch overlooking the sea.  Delaney was in heaven eating mussles, shrimp, clams, octopus, and even some fried fish!  She is one adventurous eater.  Even Howard wouldn’t touch the fish, since they were fried bones and all.  She LOVED it!

On our way home we found this neat little building, on an island all its own.  A picture of it is hanging in the elevator we take to our room every day.  It was fun to see it in person.  We noticed that room on top echoed.  I am sure the Italians down stairs wondered what the crazy Americans were doing.  We were hooting and hollering enjoying the echoing and feeling the breeze come off the water!
