We left Capri around 9 am this morning, caught the ferry which was on time and we arrived in Naples no problem. Hailed a cab (that would fit six – cabs are tiny over there!) and arrived at the train station in plenty of time for our 11:55 am train to Florence. We have to always get our seat assignments when we get on each train – even though we have a Eurail Pass – and the lines were SO LONG at the Naples station! We got to the window at 11:52 am and the man said we had time (train left at 11:54) and gave us our seats. We RAN to the train – which was a few steps away – and it was pulling out! MISSED IT! The people stamping tickets told us we could get on the next one in an hour and they would give us new seats! SO, we went to McDonalds – got FREE WiFi – and played cards! No big deal…we got settled on the next train and off we went – back to Florence for the night.
We are getting used to this type of travel – off the train – we rolled our bags to the local laundry mat – nice and clean – and proceeded to do about 3 loads of laundry. Blakely and I stayed behind this time to do the laundry and Clark and the rest of them rolled their bags about 15 minutes away to our hotel. VERY CONTEMPORAY! They came back with empty bags just about the time that B and I were folding our last bit of laundry and we packed up and were on our way!
We will blog about our hotels in another blog – they deserve their own blog…this one we stayed in was way too funky and far out! Priceline.com – you got to love it! We only paid $114 US dollars – loving this budget travel!
We showered and went back to our favorite restaurant – Mama Gina’s – had another GREAT meal – I love the way the Italians eat around the table – they don’t want you to leave! We have had some good quality time with the kids at dinner – they can’t inhale their dinner and get up and leave! Will miss that!
