Our original plan for the 5th was to ride the train down to Sicily from Naples. We were really looking forward to visiting Taorimina, Palermo and Catania; however, the slow ten hour train ride, limited availability, and a scheduled ferry leaving Bari on the 8th forced the decision to skip Sicily.
For the day, we ended up booking another night at the hostel we stayed in previously in Naples, Hostel of the Sun. Being back in this welcoming environment allowed us to unwind and relax with the other travelers for the evening. We were even treated to a free pasta dinner on behalf of the hostel – penne with ricotta cheese and smoked mozzarella. We had the benefit of meeting a fellow American from Texas, Sloan. Just the previous day he completed his final exams in Barcelona where he had been studying architecture for the semester (Senior from Texas A&M). Since the pasta didn’t satisfy our hunger completely, the three of us set out for some late-night pizzas at Pizzeria di Michele where we each enjoyed a delicious margherita pizza, Naples style!
