10:33 to Reggio Calabria

We arrived on time in Salerno, and I made it to the next platform. There was a train arriving and I got onto my car. But my car had 3 seats across, and this one had 4. I quickly got off and asked a conductor. Yep, wrong train! My train arrived 11 minutes later. While i was waiting, i could see the Amalfi Coast over a fence. So close!

The 4.5 hour trip went by faster than I anticipated. Partly because I met a couple from California, Mary and Peter, chatted with me for quite a while. They were headed to Taomina after visiting Rome, Milan, and Florence. The views from the train were amazing. There were views of the Mediterranean after we passed the Bay of Naples. I also got a glimpse of Vesuvius.

We arrived on time, and I was ready for the next leg of my journey!Read more
