• Officially traveling for 24 hours...

    October 31, 2024 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 72 °F

    I left my house 24 hours ago, and I'm still traveling. I am on the train from Rome to Aversa, then changing trains for a short trip to Caserta.

    I stopped for an espresso and a cornetto before I left Largo Torre Argentina. It was nice to sit and relax. At the e first place I stopped, I sat there for about 10 minutes and no one took my order. Then I went to another place across the square.

    Next, I caught a taxi to the luggage place. The cab driver was nice and we spoke in Italian. He was telling me how great the famous pizza place was in Caserta, and how hard it is to get a reservation. Of
    course, I don't have one... I picked up my luggage and walked over to the train station. There is now a Starbucks in the train station! I didn't get coffee, but I did get a Rome mug.

    While on the train, I looked to see if I could snag a reservation at the pizza place. They didn't have anything tomorrow, but they had one for 11pm tonight! So my plan is to check in to the hotel, wash my clothes out, nap for 2 to 4 hours, then get pizza. I may end up just sleeping tomorrow!
