Ciao Amalfi coast and hello Roma ...

Our last night on the Amalfi coast ended in an amazing thunder and lighting show which started about in the early hours of the morning and got worst about 7am and then started to clear a bit just before we left on the 8.37am but to Sorrento.

Once in Sorrento we had to get on a train to go to Naples and then swap trains to get to Roma.

The Sorrento to Naples train trip was a crack up, the train was so bloody full it was ridicious ... but a real laugh, as we ended up talking to a lovely South Africian couple who live in Melbourne, also an English and Scottish couple ... and yes the englishmen did talk about the Rugby.

The closer we got to Naples the more room we had on the train ... by the end of the trip I had had so many people stand and roll over my feet and elbows in the chest ... and who says holidaying is not an adventure.

Once we arrived into Roma, we found our hotel very quickly as we are near the main train station which is a great location ... I have been here twice before and it has not changed much at all.

We then went walk about late afternoon and I showed Joanne the Spanish steps (which was swarming with tourist) then along to the Trevi Fountain, where we found a lovely cute wee restaurant to have dinner and glass of vino.

We have had great first day and Joanne can't believe how walkable half the sites are around this city.

We just off to bed, but have lots of noisey teenagers on holiday (without their parents, just their credit cards) running up and down the stairs, giggling and talking heaps.

Buonasera
