So...Our plan today was to head to Naples again to look (more slowly than yesterday) at the city and markets. We went to get tickets around 10 this morning, but it ends up that they don’t sell bus tickets on weekends…fantastic right? So we tried a few other places on base where they might have sold some, but no one had any. We went to the bus stop anyway and waited for the next bus to try to buy tickets there. 

Meanwhile, Molly (one of my roommates) realized she didn’t have her wallet. A few people backtracked where we had been to look for it, but didn’t find it. 

The bus finally came around 11:10 and of course they couldn’t speak English and we couldn’t speak Italian, but we think we might be able to buy tickets there if we needed to. We thought about calling a taxi, but decided against that because we can’t speak Italian…could you imagine how that conversation would have gone?? 

Molly reported her lost wallet and we came back to the apartments. Everyone decided to go back to the pool on base and spend the day swimming and laying out, but I woke up with a head cold (runny nose, headache, throat) so I stayed in my apartment and watched movies on my laptop, did some laundry, and slept. On top of everything else that’s happened, our Internet outside our apartment stopped working. I’m hoping it’s just a weekend thing, but who knows. :/ Tomorrow we’re planning on going to Pompeii, but we’ll see how our luck turns out!!
