Day 15: from Napoli to Roma


Breanna Neville and Hayley Duncan
The day started with a wet tour of Naples with our guide Nino. We splashed through the puddles and dodged traffic in the busy city as we saw the sights. The highlight of the tour was the dry, warm Galleria where we sat and ate donuts and cafe nutellotto. We also had a strange cultural experience when we were surrounded by another school group who formed a circle and ran in at us screaming!
After our sugar fix and little scare, we set off for the train to Rome with our feast from the supermarket and our soaking wet shoes. Mr. Deitz, as usual, gave us a lecture about our security and safety before leaving the train station.
We got settled into our motel where we put on dry clothes and got ready for another 'Mr. Deitz's guided tour'. This tour took us to the ancient ruins of the Forum and the Trevi fountain where we all threw money over our shoulders into the water in the hope that we will travel back here some day. By this time we were all tired and hungry so we made our way to L'Orsetto Restaurant where we enjoyed pasta, veal and beans, and a delicious chocolate tart.
