    Today was a bit of a rest after our day trips the last few days. We went to the Sanserevo Chapel Museum to see the sculptures including the Veiled Christ. There were no photos allowed in the chapel but if you google it you will get the idea. It's just amazing what people can do with a piece of marble. Also the guy that commissioned the place initially; Raimondo di Sangro, was quite an interesting dude. He built a water chariot, designed the chapel and was described as "not an academic, but the whole academy". We also dropped past a market (not as good as Palermo), another amazing church and the university of Napoli! We spent the afternoon doing some train bookings and cooked ourselves a Napoli Pasta dish for dinner which tasted way better than one might think considering there is only 1 portable hot plate to work with!Read more
