travel days

bambam: napoli
well our second to last night at the pink palace was spent recouperating somewhat! we slept for 12hrs and then got up and had our last day by the water! well in the water with our little round floaty tubes! haha we spent hours out there! then hanaaa decided we should have a bottle of wine with dinner! our last dinner at the pink palace..at least we got the chicken again!! so we had some wine and then we decided to stick around the togo party and watch everyone all dressed up! wwe ended up drinking 3 bottles of wine dancing all night and had soo much fun our last night in greece!! :( this time I actually had to drag hana home at 3am! we had to be up at 630 to catch our ferry at 9!! lol so 3 bottles of wine and 2 hrs of sleep later we were up HAULING our backpacks up the hike from our room to the reception area at pink palace! (all of u were there will understand our pain!) (170 stairs and lots of uphill) lol we were then on the longeest ferry ride to brindisi,italy ever!! haha needless to say we didnt feel so hott! i think thats the 3 or 4th time we-ve vowed never to drink again before travelling! lol
we made it to brindisi aboutt 13hrs later! got to our hostel which was pretty decent! we were hungryyy and they made us a delicious home cooked meal that we all ate outside of the hostel by the pool! straight to bed after, we had an earlyy train to napoli the next morning and running on little sleep! welll we slept in and nearly missed our train!! lol we were suppose to leave at 730 am and woke up at 715! haha alot of rushing later we made it there at about 750 and made our train! it was an hour train than a 5hr bus ride to napoli!! we finallyy got here and had to find a place to stay! its a littlee sketcky so we found the cheapest place close to the train station ate dinner at 430pm (mc,ds in pizza) lol and retired to our sauna for the night!! it was 31 degrees in our room! 31 !!!! and our fan barely worked! hahah so we played cards naked and hana tryed to insult me when i was winnning...her insult....im stupid hahahha (u prob had to be there, but hana calling herself stupid naked playing cards was pretty hilarious lol!!
we slept for a solid 12hrs and woke up at 9am to head to pompei!! its only about a 30min train ride..well 30mins for people who know how to get on what train to get there ...for us more like an hour and asking 5 different people. haha
we made it finally!! and needed breakfast...well i guess iced expresso and pizza counts as breakfast right?? lol..oh and hana got high off the coffee hahahah
then into pompei, for those who dont know pompei was a city 2000yrs ago that was covered in ash when the volcano erupted on aug24 79ad so however many years ago,.yesterday was the anniversary! it was discovered years later burried but still perserved so they unburied it and people are able to walk all through the city and see how they used to live. it was sooo interesting! we saw tons of houses,ampitheatres,gardens,temples,people actually perserved that were buried alive in the volcano trying to escape! so sad! we also saw a brothel!! (they had all these beds and above each bed was a painting of a position and whichever postion u wanted (apparently u only got one back then!) lol ud pick and go in that room! so crazy that this stuff is still there after being completely burried in ash. we walked around for 5hrs looking at everything!! by the end we were exhausted and hungry! so we had some pasta and gelato for dessert and headed back to napoli!
we.re now waiting for our train into rome tonight and reallly looking forward to not travelling for a few days and getting to see all the sites in rome!! :D
love u all xoxo

  1. Wow! It is so exciting! Rome! I am late posting...I can see from your facebook you got there safely and are having an amazing time! Hooray! I am so jealous. Not as much as Nikki is, though. She is trying to get me to go to Europe with her next Summer. Hehehe. :) You should have packed her along with you guys! I am not a good traveler. Haha! :P
