Pit stop in Naples

After our hot and fun day in Pompeii we headed back to Rome in order to catch our flight back to Germany the next day. We had a few hours to kill in Naples so we decided to try out a famous Napoleon pizza. It didn't disappoint. It was definitely different than the other pizza we'd tried in Italy but it also tasted like some of the yummy pizza we've had back home. I think it's the wood burning stove technique they use. The crust was delicious. Before leaving Naples we grabbed some gelato and the guy serving us thought Super Nel was from Brazil. 

When we finally board our train back to Rome (2.75 hours) we learn that there's no a/c on board. There's a screen that says the temperature inside and outside the train. It's 2 degrees hotter than outside. I honestly start to get a little hysterical from the heat. I just start laughing at nothing and can't stop. Arnel doesn't share in my laughter. He's even hotter and keeps asking "how long is the ride??"

Here is Super Nel desperately trying to find a way to cool off on the train. The window only opens a tiny bit but he realizes if he puts his hand on the corner of the window it blows the air down. This is how he rode the entire way back to Rome.

There was a couple across from us on the train and when the guy fell asleep his gf applied makeup to his face. It was pretty funny. 

When we arrive in Rome it's close to 9pm. We're hot and tired from all the walking in Pompeii but we figure its our last evening in Rome and we should go out. We decide to go see the Trevi Fountain at night. It looks even more beautiful at night. But it's even more packed!! It's like every single tourist and their mother had decided to congregate at the fountain. 

After looking at the fountain we decide to head back to our hostel. Before we had set out to see the fountain I had circled on the map our hostel and the fountain and then given it to Arnel-he's good with maps. So we start walking back and nothing looks familiar to us. We're on the right streets but nothing stands out. Mind you, this is the same hostel we stayed at 2 days ago. You'd think something would  be familiar. What we do notice is the time-it's now after midnight and there's hardly anyone around anymore. So we pull out the map again (hoping it will magically make our hostel appear). That's when it hits me: there are TWO hostels with the same name! Ours is called Alessandro Downtown Hostel and the other is Alessandro north Hostel. Their owned by the same company too. We'd walked to the wrong hostel. 

Now when I think about it it's kinda funny   But at the time it was not. We finally arrive at our hostel and pass out. Our Italy vacation has come to an end. It's been everything we dreamed of an more. But we're sad to see it end. 

Now a wrap up on our Exofficio underwear. Their actually really great traveling underwear and will probably be the only ones I pack when I travel from now on. But there's no way you can go more than a day without washing them. At least not in hot weather. It's impossible!!! Super Nel says he could get away with 2 days. My response to that: yea but on the second day I never wanted to be downwind from you.
