Caravaggio was on the menu today. We headed out in the morning to Po Monte Della Misericordia which took us through the Spanish Quarter.

Miraculously there was no line to get in to see The Seven Works of Mercy which was in itself a Mercy.

I liked that the other works on display showed how other contemporaries of Caravaggio were influenced by his style.

Across the street was the Duomo dedicated to San Gennaro.

There was a lot to look at there. Like many baroque churches, too much is never enough. Not my style.

After a decent pizza nearby in Spuzzuliamm

we returned to O Sarracino to collect our luggage and move across town to Avia Suite.

By this time it was clear that I had caught some kind of bug and was feeling very poorly indeed. I had fever, chills, coughing, sneezing. The works. Also the internet was out and certainly couldn’t be repaired on Sunday. Chiew brought me a pot of Japanese noodles which was perfect and a Doliprane which was essential.

I was still doing poorly in the morning but presided over the internet repair and then napped.

Feeling a little better after lunch, we took the funicular up to the hilly Vomero neighborhood. The broad, leafy streets lined with elegant buildings contrasted nicely with the city below. Plus we met a couple of great guys! A little thin but sharply dressed.

We wandered the Villa Floridiana park, enjoying the turtle pond and the view.

Our birthday dinner was at a local Japanese restaurant. We both enjoy sushi so why not?
