On the evening of the fifth day of our stay in Naples my pedometer indicated 20 km. I’m used to walk but perhaps not as much…

It was a rainy morning but it didn’t stop us from visiting San Giovanni a Carbonara church - it’s not so easy to find it but the Caracciolo del Sole chapel with its amazing frescoes and blue tiles is worth a visit. 

The Girolamini church is closed because of important renovation work but I visited the cloisters. Hopefully the whole complex will reopen soon…

In the afternoon we went to Caserta and saw the royal palace. The gardens are nice, especially because of the perspective on the palace you have from the highest point of the garden.
