On shopping in Naples

Okay, I'm going to tell you about the single most successful shopping spree of my entire life. Hold tight. This one's for girls... you know how sometimes you can go shopping with a purse full of money, you make a big day of it... and NOTHING, you can't find anything, and then OTHER times, when you least expect it, you walk away with six bags FILLED with the loveliest treasures you've  ever seen. Everything fits, everything looks good, they have the top you LOVE in three of your favourite colours and they only cost four euros each, I'm not kidding around. There were literally hundreds of these shops selling tops for 4 euros, dresses for 10 euros... and it was all amaziiiiing. I'm just going to take a moment to stop and reflect on what kind of person I sound like.....

Wow. I sound QUITE ridiculous.
This isn't REALLY me. Before this little episode, the most I had bought were a few beachy tops from Thailand and some  harem pants from Vietnam... so I'm a bit out of touch with this person who's talking about shopping like an annoying gurrrl. She, this new person, was OUT of control. I just kept spotting these absolute gems, I bought some makeup and some sandals, I even bought these ridiculous hair rollers (Cary who ARE you!?). The only thing that was missing were my fellow bargain hunters, I would have done anything to have them there to be girly and try stuff on with. I got back to the boat, completely smitten with all my lovely things and, as you do after any good shopping spree, wanted to try EVERYTHING on again. 

This was me: "Okay guys, I've bought SUCH nice stuff, WHO wants a fashion show?!"

They look at eachother, they look at me... "WHAT?!"

Well, I've bought new stuff, so I'm going to do a fashion show so you can see how nice everything is and tell me how pretty I look"

They both look at eachother, shake their heads, and carry on eating their pasta. It's so hard living with two men, they just don't get it (the fools). 

Look at all my STUFF...
I know, right?!
