Now that we've decided where we want to go, we have to work out how to get there and what's going to happen once we're there. we figured that we'd spend a few days in Rome, then go down to Naples so we can visit Pompeii, then go on to Reggio Calabria. however, after a bit of research i realised that Naples looks like a seriously dangerous place to go. there were stories of people getting their earrings ripped out of their ears on busy streets, and someone being held at gunpoint for his bag. in fact, i couldn't really find any reviews that didn't end in '..but i didn't feel safe' and personally, i like to feel safe. so instead i went to look at Sorrento, which sounds like an adorable seaside town, and i couldn't find any reviews saying 'and then my bag was stolen...' or anything too terrible really. and it's just the same distance from Pompeii, and probably closer to Reggio Calabria.
I discovered last night that Reggio Calabria is a six hour/fifty euro each way train from Rome, which kind of sucks because i really want to go down there, but at the same time i really don't like spending so much money. so i suppose now we have to decide if it's worth spending an extra £100 for. i think it might be, but we're meeting up tomorrow to talk about it...
