Pompeii
Tuesday: I’d originally planned to do a day trip from Rome to Naples, Capri and Pompeii. After hearing from one of the BusAbout guides that a day like that would be pretty much impossible, we decided to just go for Pompeii. Capri would have been cool, and I still would like to go there at some point, but I really didn’t want to leave Italy without seeing Pompeii.
So Tuesday morning we got up at the crack of dawn once again. Showered, dressed, and out the door before 7:30. We knew we had to get to Termini station in order to get a train to Naples and then we’d have to take a local train to get to Pompeii (the Circumvesuviana). We were hoping to get there by around noon, 1PM at the latest.
We did well. Bought our tickets – yay for Eurail passes, once again – and made our train with no major problems. Sweet. So far so good. After getting a bit lost (and grossed out) by the Napoli Centrale (the Naples train station) we made it to the Circumvesuviana and off to Pompeii.
