Riding in Trains

Today we woke up pretty early, and were happy to find the guy at the campgrounds decided to give us the discount! We asked the night before if he would do 5 euros a person …instead of 8 euros… and he said no….but when we went to pay when we checked out, he gave it to us So nice!

We took one last stroll through Sorrento, and were sad to leave, because it was such a nice little town! Here is how much they LOVE their lemons…tons of stores dedicated to them with candles, soaps, statues, everything! haha saying it was not valid, and long story short…they made us pay a penalty! AHHhh we were sooo mad…they were saying you pay me now..only 1 penalty…or we call police and you get 2 penalties! GrrrRR! We were scrounging up money because we didnt want to give him our 50€ … thinking he would just keep the change. He finally let us go a little short on the cash, and gave us a joke of a ticket..our names were not even on it!

We went straight onto a train to Rome from Naples and went to go meet Maura ( friend from UGA) because she was in Roma for the weekend with her study abroad! We were thinking about going out with her, but were exhausted and decided to just take the train back to Morlupo, so as you can see…today was a day of riding on Trains!

I will add this picture just so it isn’t too boring haha…not as many pics this entry! Here is a pic of the oranges we have been eating! We were terrified at first, but have grown to love them because they are SOOOO juicy and flavorful!

But hopped on a train back to Napoli! We had the pass we had bought yesterday that was valid for 24 hours so used that in the little machine, and it let us through…everything was fine! WELL… by the time we got into Naples…the 24 hours was up and there were ticketmen (mafia) making you show them your tickets to get OUT of the train station, which we had never seen before. We show them ours and point to the clock and kept walking, but they weren’t having it! We ended up having to pay them

0o0o and im going to combine this with tomorrows, because the next day…we just stayed in Morlupo and hung out and relaxed! It was so nice to not do any walking around ha! Brad and i just caught up on some research in our Lonely Planet book and played cards (they have become our savior for passing time!) We have a massive ongoing score of Rummikub going haha! We made dinner there…delicious Gnocchi, which was even better than the one we bought in the restaurant, and a huge pack of vegetables!! I Do not know how Italians stay healthy because all they have here is carbs…mostly pizza everywhere…and pasta of course…and then Gelato!! Luckily Brad and i have been buying lots of fruit, but we needed some veggies in our life!
