Arrived in Napoli!

Sleeping on a train is, in Xavier's words, violent. Despite having a private cabin with a private shower and toilet, we didn't get much rest. The air conditioning in the car was broken and it was HOT, and the service employee kept checking in on us even after we all tried to turn in in various states of undress in our triple bunks. To battle the heat,  we left the window cracked, which made the entire ride extremely noisy, but at least cooler.

I woke up to Xavier curled up on the floor drawing happily.
We got off in Venezia to transfer to a train to take us to Napoli, but unfortunately,  ended up at the wrong station and had to book it to a transfer to get to ANOTHER station before we missed our connection. 

Then, we got our connection,  only to find that there was no dining car, the snack vending machine had very little to offer,  and the coffee vending machine was broken. That was a long ass 4.5 hour train ride. But,  we survived on travel snacks I had packed,  books,  and drawing. 
We were greeted in Napoli with 97 degree weather and no thank you,  but Napoli, so we made due and headed to our AMAZING hotel. For real,  The Golden Tower is SWANK and I've loved every second here so far.

We cleaned up,  rested up, Steve got a massage at the spa, and then we all had dinner at the rooftop restaurant in the hotel.

Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli and Napoli

Today was SUPPOSED to be a "light" day,  though I think Steve and I have different definitions of "light". We started with a light breakfast outside of the hotel and visited Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli.  The museum is in what was I've a 17th century palace,  inhabited by a ruler who only cared to show off his status and wealth by collecting and displaying rare artifacts. He also had a "solar clock room", which was an expansive gallery room with a long mural ceiling where he had engaged mathematicians and astronomers to construct a working zodiac clock that would tell the time of the year by the sun's position at local noon every day. Unfortunately,  due to timing and cloud cover, we did not get to see the marvel,  though the room was still impressive.  Pompeii artifacts including mosaics and musical instruments.  At the metro stop, we came across an impressive statue that left Xavier giggling.  And then we continued on by me...

Travel Day: Train to Rome, Train to Civitavecchia, then Overnight Ferry!

We started with a hotel breakfast,  etch was an. .. interesting affair. They far a tortilla,  which looked like tortilla  Española,  except... pasta. I has giggles,  and then disappointment.  And on to the train station!  Here we go to Rome! (Briefly,  only have a 1/2 hour connection to get to our Civitavecchia train.) We,  uh, missed our connection in Rome. And melted a wheel off one of the suitcases (and burned Steve's hand trying to fix it) trying to make it. But,  eventually,  we did make it on a train going to Civitavecchia. All is good,  I have been reunited with paprika Pringles. Mmmmm. Dinner in Civitavecchia, and a view that certainly doesn't suck. Got to our ferry, and tucked into our noon-air conditioned cabin for the night. Au last we had a view of the sea from our room.

AND WE'RE OFF

Getting to the airport with plenty of time to spare keeps me from getting too stressed out, and it also makes it so we hit Burgerville to make sure the child will actually eat lunch and not get hangry somewhere over the mountains. So,  imagine my surprise when we did just that.  Boarding is in about 1/2 hour and I'm ready for my first drink.  Next stop,  Amsterdam!
