April 13

       It is a funny day about train. I felt we stayed in the train for the whole day. Since yesterday we arrived in Amalfi too late, we had to live in Amalfi for one night. In the morning, I scanned the news and found Rome was having a train strike. We decided to leave Amalfi as soon as possible by boat and spent only 30 minutes to Salorne, and then taking the train back to Napoli. (If anyone would like going to Amalfi, I would highly recommended taking the train from Napoli to Salorne first and then take the boat to Amalfi. We took the bus to Amalfi on Saturday and we spent about 3 hours on the road. Meanwhile the road of the mountain is all twisted. We all felt carsick.) We were back to Napoli in the afternoon and our stuffs in the hotel were all moved to the front desk L. We cleaned them in the hallway for half an hour. As we were in the train station, the ticket office told us that our train was cancelled, but there was another regular trains was not cancelled and we could take it back to Rome. We waited for 30 minutes with a lot of people. However, the train did not come. Rainy found out the train was cancelled and we were told to take another train, which would leave in 10 minutes, so we ran to another platform. In the train, we were so happy talking about our travelling and we did not realize we already past the station until the ticket checker came to check the ticket. We got off in a town, which we never heard about. We should be nervous, but we were not. We felt this trip was so funny. Rainy and I checked the train schedule on the wall in the ticket office and Julie went to the restroom. We found the train to Rome would come in 4 minutes. We carried three cases ran to the platform. However, when we went to the platform, there was only a couple of girls there and one of them told us the train was cancelled. OK, it was cancelled again. At last, we waited for 20 minutes for the next train that took us back to Rome. At 10.05, we got back to Rome successfully, however, we were supposed to get back at 7.10. Oh well, it was a funny experience on the train and we enjoyed getting lost together.
