June 23. We were up and had breakfast and on the road by 8 am, late for us as we normally try and be gone by at least 7 am on a normal travel day but we had decided to go on their schedule. All of this day was taken up with drive to Paestum, Italy where we were staying for the week. The roads were busy as it was a Saturday. We drove the whole way on the "highway" so we did make good time. The landscape went from flat farmland to the rolling hills of Tuscany back to flat farmland in the South. We drove passed Florance and Rome. We stopped on and off for Gas breaks and to use the bathroom. In Salareno we found a Supermarket to get food for the first few days. We spilt up at this point and the Romania's went to their house and we went and found ours.
Our place was a huge disappointment, not as advertised at all. It was run down, the beds weren't made and there was no towels. The pool that was advertised as private was private for the complex of about ten townhouses and was only open a few hours a day. This was not what we wanted at all. We had wanted a pool for the kids to play in on and off all day to cool off and to keep them busy so that Eric and I could relax. Well I fell apart and just wanted to go home. After Eric and I talked and talked we decide to see how it went for a few days and then decide what to do. We ended up at our friends place since they had a nice townhouse with a small pool and we hung out there most nights.
