Nipping through Napoli (Naples)

Arrive Naples (Napoli) get on a bus, OMG so many angry locals it wasn’t funny....also was a 10 min trip turned into approx 40 mins due to rallying and demonstrators and police blocking city
Get off bus for fear of being beaten to death, went for walk to find hotel....hmmmm not my best choice yet! LOL
Get into room and laugh at contents, furniture and general upkeep and decided to hit the streets for some dinner and wine and to laugh the night away
Found a restaurant and ordered some pizza and wine, after all this is where pizza is from, also decided to sit at window and people watch. First impression, all the cars and scooters here are damaged, every single one! And also every second car is a Smart car....still damaged though.
Went for small walk and headed back to hotel, went to sleep...well sort out... bed was like concrete so sleep wasn’t an option.
Get up next morning, skip the free breakfast as from the stat of the hotel it might contain hideous diseases.... so went for walk to find some pizza for breakfast. Walked quite a bit to an area where the pizza is suppose to be the best in the city....THIS IS THE FUNNY PART
I was seriously craving a coffee (as I typically do these days every hour on the hour) so we went to a pizza place that has HUGE reviews. Went downstairs, ordered some water and two coffees whilst we researched the menu and considered what to order (although pizza Napoli was high on the menu) so we ordered the two (Dua) Cappuccinos and waited for approx 20 minutes, all the time wondering where our coffee’s were and also why the waiter hadn’t come back to take our order..... So arriving on our table were two of the same pizzas......HUGE PIZZAS......for two people......TWO WHOLE PIZZAS!!!!! So EPIC FAIL on language breakdown!
Left the restaurant feeling like Fat White Westerners and hit the streets, walked around, considered going to a museum or a church but decided that we hated Naples so much that we were going to leave two days ahead of schedule....so back to the hotel we skipped to pack and tell the angry (working 2 days straight) guy at reception that we wanted to leave. Had to pay for that night anyway but we were happy to do so and headed to the rail station to head to Rome, emailed ahead to Rome hotel to try and make sure we had a room for the night and ahead to the cooking class to move that ahead as well.
 Ciao
