Vico Equense Day 2

I need to mention the hotel we stayed at. It's called Aequa Hotel. It's a nice place located next to the coast and had a nice pool. The town was a great place itself. Hilly and beautiful. My experience there was unlike any other city I've been to. I don't know if this is just typical of the town to be this way but there were many young boys everywhere who were confrontational and would holler at all and any female walking by. On the first day, I was honked at and I heard several similar stories.

Anyways, look up the hotel if you'd like. It's a beautiful place.

Day 2 in Vico was nice. We went to the Capodimonte Museum. It was a nice and very long museum. There were walls upon walls of paintings to look at. I eventually got burned out from looking at so many paintings. There were several that were copies of one painting. I guess they found it necessary to show the different painting techniques but they just ended up being wasted wall space. After the museum, we all ate outside in the gardens with our sacked lunches. They lunch had 3 small sandwiches, one with only ham, one with only cheese, and the third one with ham and cheese. Cute.

After lunch we rode the bus over to the Archeological Museum. The bus ride over wasn't that great. We were stuck in traffic for about 20 minutes at a left turn. People in that town drive like crazy, especially the people on the vespas. They zoomed in and out of traffic going to where ever they wanted. The museum was really nice though. It was equally as long but it held my attention longer. There was work by Michelangelo. They had huge sculptures that he carved but I liked the most about this area of the museum was his handwriting. That was the best part. He had beautiful handwriting. I couldn't stop admiring how legible, clean, and beautiful it was.

I think this was the museum that has a penis room. Apparently during the time period of the statues, men didn't think it appropriate for women to see the penises on the Greek like statues so they went around and chopped them all off and the museum has a room that stores all of them. Unfortunately the penis room wasn't opened that day.

Afterwards we went straight back to the hotel where we had dinner.
