POD-103: Civitaveccia

The second day of our trip was a bit sad. It was so hard to leave such a nice city that we had only begun to explore. I would have been quite happy spending our entire week in Italy, but we had other plans. We had the entire day, but having to take the train to the coast and not wanting to miss the boat we went ahead and packed our bags to make sure we had plenty of time. Good things we did of course because while we were quite proud of ourselves for getting bus tickets, lugging our bags across town to the train station, buying our train tickets, we soon found ourselves watching our train speed past and soon realized that we had taken the bus in the opposite direction to the wrong train station. Not really a big deal because it was one of the minor stops along the same route, but still we had plenty of time to wait for the next train. And luckily we are huge train fans here so it was a nice place to pass the time. And funny it should happen again, but there was a cute little cat across the tracks that we were watching for awhile.


Roma San Pietro station, not the Termini. We thought it seemed a bit small for Rome...should have been the first clue.


A little apple snack while we waited an extra long time for the train.


Almost immediately after arriving on the boat we were greeted by the stuffy, cheesy, American commercialism we came to Europe to escape. I took a deep breath and tried to make the most of it. After all the whole reason I agreed was to visit some of the awesome places we were about to visit. Either way it was a week off work with my favorite little lady and full on adventure.


Chillin with crazy kitty, trying to find the best pool chairs.


Morgan had a great time checking out the mini golf. For about 5 minutes at least. There was so much to explore.
