Leaving Reggio Calabria

First things first--I want to come back. I really like this place. Both the hotel and the town. I didn't get to see the famous bronze statues or eat another gelato!

I went to the cafe for breakfast and had some sort of chocolate and vanilla creme filled bun that the woman suggested...pushed on me? It was good with my cappuccino.

After breakfast, I thought I would find an ATM before I left town. I brought about 180€ with me and haven't needed to get more. Most places take credit cards in Reggio Calabria. The closest place was the post office, which has a bank. I took out 220€, and received 4-50€ notes and one 20€. I refer to them as "turds," as I can't use them unless I spend more than 25€. I went inside and tried to change them, but got a big no!

Back at the hotel, I closed up my suitcase and rested until the taxi arrived at 10:30. The ride took over a half an hour, though mostly crowded streets. The airport is pretty small, and I went inside to find the car rental. It was across the street and no easy to get to.

Time to get lost in Calabria!Read more
