Today we lugged our things on the crazy bus that passes by our guest house to the train station, hopped on a train for Naples, and then waited in the Naples train station for a long time. We bought tickets for the 1:30 train, but it had a warning that something was wrong. We watched the estimated late time get longer and longer... so I switched our tickets to a later train, but that one started to show an increasing late time too. I considered switching to an even later train, but we decided to stick with this one. When it finally came, 3.5 hours late, it was mostly empty and we were SO relieved to be on it. The whole stressful wait would have been worse if Daniel hadn't slept through most of it. It felt great to be out of Naples!

A taxi took us to our final home, a bed and breakfast owned by Giulia. The property is in the thick of things in the city, but it has a wall around a peaceful grassy area with two buildings, one appears to be a single apartment, and the other is a 3-4 story building with maybe 4-5 apartments including ours. The building is very ancient, but our apartment was modern, very open, and airy. And furnished by IKEA. In fact, it looked like it came straight out of an IKEA magazine.
So happy to leave Naples. Chillin with Pingu.
A mostly empty train to Rome, probably because everyone gave up waiting for it.
The train even had power!
IKEA apartment in Rome
IKEA bedroom. It was really nice, don't get me wrong.
