Day 110
I went to the train station and bought my train ticket for Naples which departed Florence at 11am. It was a direct train down to Naples that only took about 3 hours. It was nice not having to worry about connections and changing trains.
Naples is a giant city. I didn't really realize just how big it was going to be. I walked from the train station to the hostel and it seemed like the entire city is one giant melting pot of cultures, food and shops. Naples is also a coastal city with a big port that cruise ships use as a base.
Upon checking into the hostel, I was given a map and shown quite a few places to visit in the city as well as information on how to get to Herculaneum and Pompeii. I have 4 full days here so I'm not sure when I'll head out and visit those sites but I plan on spending at least one full day out exploring Naples and eating pizza.
I walked around a bit but it was really busy again here so I bought some groceries and came back to the hostel to get dinner ready. I'll probably take it easy tonight since I've been staying up pretty late the last few nights in Florence.
