Naples....

Aug 19, 2007 02:50

Naples I have to say has been quite fun, as the last night I shall spend here is wrapping up, I have come to some realizations...specifically....as nice as hotels are...they fucking suck. Every time I stay at a hotel I can't wait to get back to my own bed, or even the floor....something about hotels makes it so I am actually unable to sleep well. I'm really not sure, but it pisses me off. I keep hoping that one day I'll find that hotel that well....makes me go DAMN I gotta come here more often so I can sleep well. In truth, I got my best sleep out by the pool and out on the beach.

For anyone who does ever come out to Naples, be sure to visit the Naples Zoo....totally worth it. two great attractions to see are Leopard Rock and the Monkey Island tour.

Leopard Rock....kinda self explanatory, except....well you are about 1 inch from the Leopards if they come up to the glass. Seriously....when you approach, the Leopards usually come up to the glass out of curiosity, and then you are only separated by 1 inch of glass. It's kinda cool actually.




Monkey Island....well that's basically a boat tour of a small group of islands, and on each island is a different grouping of primates. Starting with Gibbons, then going to Spider monkeys, then Lemurs, and more Lemurs, and then more Spider monkeys, and well you get the idea. The greatest thing about it is that well....you could be as few as 10 feet from the monkeys, with no cages/glass to inhibit your viewing pleasures. These monkeys also seem a shitload happier, can't explain HOW it seems like such...but it just does.
