After a late night, and an early morning, I caught the train out of Rome today. It's funny how in three days you end up making good friends with the people in your hostel. There are plans to see some of them again who will be through Bologna while I am there, but with others, it was a quick goodbye. I grabbed a train from Rome to Naples and then switched to get to Sorrento on the Southwestern coast of Italy. The train took us past Mt. Vesuvius and Pompei (both of which are still on the list to visit). I have to say, when we pulled into the Sorrento train station, I was shocked at the beauty of the place - it is beyond words. Perched on a cliff over the Bay of Naples in the Mediterranean, it is one idyllic setting. I don't have a whole lot to share as really I have just been wandering around.
However, I have to say I'm excited for tonight. This country is a little football crazy and at 8:30 tonight is the first game in the World Cup for Italy. Although the country is very excited for their own team, they do try to include some of their visitor's home nations in the celebrations - I just wouldn't want to be from Paraguay tonight. So that's the plan for tonight - enjoy the chaos.

I was here! After a few hot days in Rome I had to escape and I I loved it down there. Randomly a highlight of trip So jealous and wish I could come for a visit. Going to Capri?
I was in Capri today - but I think I like Positano more. But it was cool.
