After a long night of debauchery, exploring the Roma nightlife, and watching the sunrise from our balcony, the four of us were ready to checkout of our hotel the next morning and proceed to the next destination: the Amalfi Coast. Awaking thirty minutes after our checkout time on Thursday, our host Vincenzo was gracious in extending our checkout until 12:00 P.M, and giving us some tips on our further travels to Ibiza and Barcelona. We then set out for the day starting with our routine croissant and espresso. We ventured and decided to climb up the Spanish Steps. After the steps, Justin took lead of our fleet, and felt it best we go to all the stores he wanted to visit - having to stop at each one that caught his eye. After trying on every leather pair of shoes in Rome, we convinced the young tourist it was time for us to grab a bite to eat. Hungry after our "roaming around Rome", we set our sights on a small restaurant in Campo Di Fiore. Our waiter, who had just started working his first day, set us off on the right foot forgetting to bring us water or drinks to start. What should have been a typical one, maybe one and a half hour lunch turned into two and half hours of sipping on the house wine and recapping the classic moments from our excursion to Rome. Upon finishing, we began our departure for Termini - the madhouse Italian train station, to meet with our group. As was the theme for the day, we ran late as our cab driver, Marcel, hit heavy volumes of traffic. Weaving and wheeling his way through the crowd, we arrived at the Termini station five minutes prior to departure. With our crew ready to go, the European hosses boarded a bus to Amalfi to meet with three hundred other college students on a student-lead tour called Bus2Alps.
