Wednesday evening, we arrived in Naples and made the way to our hostel where we were greeted with an incredibly spacious and modern abode.
We happily settled in before heading out in search of dinner.
With a recommendation from the staff, we found the then empty restaurant and sat to order our food.
After a few minutes, patrons started flooding in and we were soon surrounded by the sights and sounds of an Italian meal.
Our gracious waiter aided us in choosing our meal (stopping us before ordering too much) and at the end, gifted us with a basket of nuts and a bottle each of Lemoncello and Meloncello (complete in their own cello shaped bottles).
We downed the delicious (and strong) drinks and made the wobbly walk back to the hostel.
The next morning, we ate a full breakfast in the hostel gardens before dressing, checking out and storing our baggage. We walked through downtown Naples, visiting some shops and passing through the main square before ending up at the marina.
Our time was growing short so we returned to the hostel to get our bags, and made our way to the train station to catch the next train to Bari, a port city on the east coast of southern Italy. We were concerned to find out that the train was full (the later train would cause us to miss our connection) but after some probing (and a change of ticket tellers) we were able to get a first class seat for only 8euro more. Thankful, we boarded our train and headed down to Bari.
