As we departed from the galleria Umberto I, I spied a couple of backpackers making their way through the streets of Napoli. Truth be told, I don't think I'd enjoy lugging that much stuff around. Yes, I know that we all had our own suitcases, but at least we could wheel most of them along the ground and dump them at the hotels that we were staying at.
Going place to place with downloads of shopping bags and other gear; let's just say that I'm glad I'm past the age of backpacking.
