Today we are leaving Florence (hooray!). Florence is a gorgeous city, but our hotel was not and we had some bad experiences.
We are going from Florence to Salerno, and Salerno to Pompei. The train journey was about 4 hours long. When we got on we found ourselves next to a family of 3 - the mother and two boys, around 5-7 years old. They were very loud and boisterous the WHOLE way and the mother didn't even care. The journey went slowly and at one point the train stopped and the power went off. Trenitalia!!!!!!! You win again!!!!!!!!!
When we eventually got to Pompei it was a quick and easy walk to our hotel. It was actually a really nice hotel. We were on the third floor and when you came out of the lift you were on a large terrace that overlooks the new town, and you can see the mountains and volcanoes in the background.
Pompei was very busy in the evening and we ended up at a pizzeria. I had a pizza with panna cotta, sweet corn and mozzarella which was delicious.
Tomorrow we are going to the ruins which Pompei is famous for.
