We toured the water buffalo farm and watched them make mozzarella. Quite a manual process. They finish by noon and only sell there. They also make yoghurt and ice cream. The cows have a relaxation room where the cows can get bottle brush massages and listen to classical music. They go into the milking stall and infrared finds the teats for milking. Then off to feeding. We bought a kilo to take home.
Our hotel was an ancient mansion. Featuring the old walls. Our room was studio of artist dorfles. Breakfast of pastries cappuccino in the wine bar. Lemon and orange trees outside.
I will let you Google translate that.

The guidebook says if you are brave and don’t take anything of value you can walk in La sanita “an uncomfortably lawless neighborhood”. The only thing we felt was odd was someone trying to get on the lift with us. But OK.
We had some fun treats on our walk back last night. Deep fried zucchini flower, baba a rum soaked pastry and sofliagette a clam shaped ricotta stuffed pastry pictured above. All the Italians have so helpful and friendly. Napoli was a great experience.
