So we hopped on the 8 am train. I really think four days in Rome was totally enough. The sites were amazing, and the Vatican as well, but the modern city of Rome is dirty, smelly, and kinda sucks your soul out. I suggest staying in another city and taking a couple of day trips into Rome.
As soon as we got here we felt better, even though there are thousands of stairs everywhere, and the little village is on a hill. Which meant carrying my suitcase vertically for about a mile. Well not really, but it felt like it since my luggage weighs a ton.
But our hotel is pretty nice, Fran and I actually have our own room and bathroom, so its a wonderful change from the hostel in Rome, and only 10 euro more a night. Totally worth it to be 10 minutes from the beach in a super cute and quiet beach town.
Today we got in and went directly to the beach, after a short nap. The beach here isn't sandy, but super rocky. We didn't mind, we were just glad to be near the ocean again. There are lots of tourists here, and I noticed that most of them are from some English speaking country--America, England, Canada, Australia. Although the town doesn't feel touristy, because there aren't very many shops and only a few pizza places.
