Castellammare di Stabia

Not much to report today as the bulk of it was spent packing up our things in Rome and transporting them to Castellammare di Stabia, where we’ll be for the next three nights. Our new place is in a residential part of town, so a bit of a walk away from the city center, but we have restaurants and a grocery store nearby meaning we don’t really need to leave the area if we don’t want to. The beach is also just a few blocks away, although away from the resorts there doesn’t seem to be any effort to clean up the cigarette butts and garbage that washes ashore.

We do luck into the best pizza we have had so far and you know you are off the beaten path when the price of calzone the size of a small baby is a whopping five Euro.

The primary target of relocating south is getting closer to Pompeii and checking that off of the list is the plan for tomorrow. There’s not much tree cover in a giant archeological dig so we’re booked in for as soon as the gate opens. At this rate, maybe we’ll retrain these kids to get out of bed before noon on their own.
