Salerno

Today was going to be nothing special. We had a long train ride to Salerno, and that was basically the only plan I did some entries into my journal and rested after a few big days. The train ride was really cool, though, through the Italian hills and along the coast.

When we arrived at our hotel, our building manager didn't speak any English, which was our first real language barrier we encountered but we managed to have a reasonable conversation and get ourselves checked in (thanks to google Translate). After this, we headed along the coast toward the beach to go for our first swim in quite a long time. The beach was slightly dirty and quite rocky, but we enjoyed the swim, nonetheless. The water in the Mediterranean is so clear and had so many fish that it makes for such an interesting experience. After this, we got some seafood pasta and got ready for bed.
