Now, London and Paris are pricey whatever is going on.

Venice is just crazy for prices...I'm thinking of Sorrento next possibly.

I love that part of the world. Napoli is a crazy old town but I really liked it. Capri, the Amalfi coast, Pompeii. Wish I was there right now. I'd like to go to Sorrento next time I'm down that way.

Did you go to the Brandi? Best pizza I've ever had.

No, where is it? We went to a place in the centre of Napoli, and bought our own food from local grocers in Capri (heck of a difference in prices).
