Of all the scary experiences I´ve had while travelling - coming face to face with a grizzly bear in Canada, skydiving in New Zealand, being mugged in Portugal - crossing the road in Naples would have to be the most terrifying. Neapolitans have no respect for footpaths, pedestrian crossings, brake pedals or human life. To cross the road here, it´s simply a matter of putting your right foot forward, holding your head up high and reciting the lord´s prayer while you walk (yes walk, don´t run) across the road. The traffic certainly won´t stop for you, but (most of the time) it will quite miraculously weave its way around you without slowly down a smidgen. It´s unnerving the first few times, but you´ll soon get the hang of it. If in doubt, attach yourself like a shadow to a local and cross the road with them, using them like a human shield.
