You have to reserve seats on a surprising number of trains with Eurail. Its a shame and is costing us. Night trains are infact about 20 euro extra. You normally reserve the day of it seems. Some stations don't have people who speak english which is a pain for us.
I have seen all of the normal stuff again in Rome: Trevi Fountian, Spanish Steps, Pantheon (I love the pantheon)... but I have been to more random squares then before and spent several hours in teh Borghese park in the northern part of the city today. When revisting a place its amazing how much of it still looks the same in my memory as it does in real life. I still kn0w in what direction some things are, where to find a certain restruant in a square... its pretty neat.
Pizza and pasta here have been good. I bought some fruit at a market today. That will be breakfast or food on the train to Naples tomorrow. I like Rome and the Italians, everything is slower paced here. The weather is warm (finally, i was tired of being cold!). And I have clean laundry now, which is also nice.
We don't know when we are leaving yet, but a train leaves about every hour as it is only an hour and a half or two hour train ride. People say there isn't much to do in Naples, but Pompeii will be neat. We will go for a hike. At Almalfi we will go for a swim.
hmm, May 19 was spent in Nice, France. I really liked it for its beach town feel. We shopped some, walked around some, spent a few hours on the beach, ate chinese food... the beach had large 2 or 3- inch in diameter pebbles, not sand. They really hurt to walk on.
Lots to see on this trip!
