I spent the day in beautiful Siena. Simply gorgeous. Tomorrow I'm heading off to Pisa which, apparently, isn't actually all that exciting. I'm not expecting much, just to see the Leaning Tower. Apparently there's a nice cathedral as well.
After, on Monday, I'm heading to Rome. I'm excited, but more worried than anything else. I've tried to book a place to stay, but it takes them a while to get back to you so you can find out if they've actually got room. I'm scared I'll have to stay in random hostel far out of town.
I've booked what seems to be a lovely hostel in Naples. I'm really only going there to get to Pompeii, which isn't really a place that you want to stay over night in. I'm looking forward to Pompeii more than any other place. My dorm is an eight person mixed dorm, though - I'm not sure what that'll be like. At twenty euros a night I don't think I can complain.
I've been spending a lot of time with Kevin, a bloke that I met from Boston a couple nights ago at this cafe. We hit it off and went out for a glass of wine that night, and met up and hung around in Siena. Tomorrow we're having breakfast before I leave for Pisa and he goes back to Boston.
He's the only person that I've met that has worse luck than me. The airport lost his luggage and still haven't found it, six days later. So he's had to buy all new clothes. That is one thing that hasn't happened to me, and I seriously hope it never does.
After a week, I'm starting to crave random foods. Kraft Dinner and Vietnamese mainly, but with some chocolate thrown in here and there. Alas, I end up settling for water the majority of the time.
I have no clever way to end this. I'm sleep deprived and not thinking straight. There was a loud thunderstorm that woke me up at six in the morning, which lasted until about eight.
So this is the end of this post.
