Naples

Thanks to Cedric, I had a great flight over from Atlanta to Rome. At the airport in Rome, I asked and found where the train tickets were sold; and I was able to buy a ticket to Naples, with a change of trains in Rome. The layover in Rome was about an hour, and that gave me time to find the hostel where we will be staying Saturday night (B-B Turin or something like that) The following photo is the train I took from Rome to Naples. It was a very comfortable ride - there were no breaks in the tracks so you did not hear or feel the clickety clack of older trains. It reminded me of the bullet train (Shinkansen) in Japan.



As is evidenced by the photo, I have met up with Darcy in Naples. This picture is at the rooftop of her hotel (Hotel Executive). We will have breakfast there tomorrow at 8:00 in the morning.
On the train ride down from Rome, I had time to read through the guide book and find a hostel. I am at the Hotel Duomo, Napoli. The address is Via Duomo 228. It is just down the street from an important cathedral called Il Duomo. Maybe we will visit it tomorrow. I walked past it on my way to the hairstylist. Yes, I got an Italian haircut. Now I look even more like those guys on the covers of Il Divo CDs.
It is quite warm and humid, but the breeze really helps... when you out doors. We have not decided what is going to happen tomorrow. One interesting ideas is to rent a boat and cruise out to a couple of small islands just off the cost. Adventure!!
