July 2nd This morning we packed up and headed to Naples. Somehow, we timed everything exactly right and walked right onto every bus, metro and train just in time without waiting. We got to our hostel without any catches and it is a really nice place! The building used to be a textile mill (hence the name, Fabric) and it's been done in a modern style. It was about 2:00 when we arrived, and after reading that our hostel was only a 15 minute walk from Herculaneum...

June 29th We had enough with the tent, so this morning we changed to a bungalow. It was just like the one we stayed in at Camping Jolly in Venice (minus the fridge). We cranked the AC and took nice showers and I was certainly happier. We got a late start because we had to wait until 12 to switch rooms, but then we headed into town and went first to the Trevi Fountain. It was packed with people, but still nice. It's a really beautiful fountain and we relaxed ...

June 26th Today was our travel day, so we headed out for Rome at 11 am and played cards on the train for 4 hours.

I ended up getting the lady to transfer us to a different tent and make it private (no random roomie) for the same price. To pi...

June 22nd We left our campsite at Camp Jolly and headed to the train station to take the train to Florence. The train was a longer train to Napoli so it was cheaper than a train that ended in Florence by about twenty euros a piece and had 6 person cabins. We didn't have reserved seats, but ended up stuck in a cabin with a really annoying little kid who really needed some discipline and an older kid and their respective moms. Shew. Sleeping was not an option an...

June 20th We slept in this morning. Last night was cold and very rainy and stormy and the morning wasn't much better. Around 10:30 the rain died down some and we decided to venture into Venice. We walked to the bus stop and stood through another pretty good rain and thunderstorm but luckily we had good cover. We got to Venice and it was crazy trying to figure out where to go and find maps and everything when everyone was huddled in all the spaces you needed ...
