https://goaskalocal.com/blog/travel-guide-to-salerno-italy

1.5 -2 hours from Rome by high speed train.

Hotel: Hotel Montestella

Mt. Vesuvius, Pompeii or Herculaneum, the Amalfi Coast or Paestum (greek ruins)

• Castle of Arechi, providing panoramic views of the Tyrrhenian Sea  (we didn’t go)
• Paestum, 30-minute train ride south of Salerno, $15
• Day 1, Amalfi Coast, Ferry to Amalfi, hike Valle Delle Ferriere; then ferry to Positano, hike all the way up.
• Day 2, The plan was to take a morning train to Pompeii and hike 維蘇威火山（Vesuvius), then visit Pompeii ruins;  但是計劃趕不上變化.  Railway workers strike.  After we arrived at the platform, all trains were canceled.  So we walk around the city to find a rental car company.  Since it’s Sunday most of the rental car company is closed.  When we finally found one, all cars are stick drive and Jeff dare not to try scooters.  So we decided to go to Naples.  那不勒斯, 意大利第三大城市.  It turned out to be total disaster.   Naples is so 髒亂差。 We finally found the taxi to take us to Pompeii.

 

• 龐貝 POMPEI，離那不勒斯約30分鍾車程, 當維蘇威火山灰在複蓋了龐貝城時，就像一個＂時空膠囊＂封存了當時的羅馬人社會狀態. Pompeii 遠超出我的想象，太震撼了，後悔之前沒有多讀一些有關的資料，回家補上。這個地方以後還會再來。

 

• 10/14， train to Florence, leave 8:38am.
