Another travelling day today,but slightly easier than the last one. Lucy bravely stepped up to do the drive to Naples, after driving to Vesuvius yesterday, and we sussed the sat-nav was set to avoid toll roads, so we reset it and went up the A3 motorway to Naples, which was much easier. Even Naples itself wasn't too bad - it must've been rush hour when I drove through it on Monday.
We chose to catch the slow train to Rome, which was still only 2 hours, rather than pay the extra to go on the fast one. The train journey was pretty average and we arrive in Rome before 1.30. The hotel room wouldn't be ready until 2.30, so we had a wander around and took the boys to a nearby park to use up some energy.

Once we'd got access to the room, it was time to do some laundry. We'd planned on doing some washing in Rome so we could bring less stuff with us, although you wouldn't think it to see all the bags we have to drag round on the trains. Luckily, there's a laundrette just a few doors down from the hotel so we managed to put on a wash and go to a snack place for something to eat.
After the washing we crashed in the room for a bit, the went for another walk to see a couple of sites before dinner and back to the hotel. Looking forward to our first full day in Rome tomorrow, when we'll probably try and do the Vatican before the Easter preparations start to ramp up at the weekend.
Luke's joke of the day:
What happened to the amphibian's illegally parked car?
It was
toad away!
