A journey that began with pirates

Bonjourno from Italy! I'm not sure how we did it, but Jordan and I are currently sitting in our B&B in Furore Italy. We were overlooking the cliff that leads down to the water but its dark now and the wind is blowing really hard so we closed our blinds, but thats the end of the story, it all began at...

4 this morning. We took two different buses to Victoria station where we caught a train to Gatwick so we could get on our plane to Naples. All was going well, until it got better because we realized that our flight was full of pirates! Thats right, pirates. Around 30 men were dressed up as pirates. Some of them had fake parrots, some had hats with hair attached to them, and all of them were AWESOME. Seriously, it was the coolest flight ever. We figured after a morning of travel that we were well on our way..oohhh we were wrong.

We arrived in Naples around 12 and found a tourism information desk where we asked when the next bus to Salerno would be and when we found out it wasn't until 2:45 we decided to ask for an alternate route. The very nice Italian lady told us that we could take a bus to the train station in Naples and then we could get a train to Salerno, easy enough. On the bus we talked to some really nice Americans who are working in Naples and they helped us find the train station. We found the ticket counter, bought our ticket to Salerno and then wandered the train station looking for our gate. After a while we asked for help from some very nice Italian people who got us on the right train. The train ride was nice, I slept through most of it and when we got off in Salerno we were looking for a bus to Amalfi. Some very nice Italian travel agent pointed us in the right direction and we got on our bus to Amalfi. I didn't know much about Amalfi before coming here, and maybe you don't either so let me tell you that Amalfi is on a mountain, that leads to the water. Driving on a road on a cliff is a...different...experience but we got some fabulous views of the water. We got to Amalfi and went to purchase our tickets for our last bus to Furore, where our B&B is. The very nice Italian people on the bus told us that they would signal us when to get off and so that is how we made it here!

This place seems amazing. Right now the weather isn't so good (cold and windy) but Pino (the owner of the B&B and our new best friend) assures us that it will be sunny soon. But either way we are here, we are safe and we are warm! Its going to be a great spring break!!
