In the morning we took a train to Latina, the closest place to Sabaudia (where we thought our beach hotel was). I had found online that there was a bus that went from the train station to the town, but when we got to Latina, nobody spoke English and there were no busses to San Felice (the town next to Sabaudia where our hotel actually was). We ended up having to use our translator app to tell a taxi driver where we needed to go and took a very expensive ride through the Italian country side. It was painful to spend that much money on a taxi, but I am so glad we got where we needed to go safely.
After arriving at our hotel we walked along the beach and checked into our hotel. The staff upgraded us from a Park-view room to a Sea-view room. It was very nice of them. We also ended up with a balcony. We wandered around the town, got some gelato and pizza for dinner and just relaxed for the rest of the day.

We slept in a little then went to the beach. The water was too cold to swim, but the sun was warm and our hotel had lounge chairs out on the beach for the guests. It was amazing to be lazy and read my book. It seemed unreal that I was on vacation in Italy!

It rained… We took that as an opportunity to lay in bed, watch programs and read our books all day. It sucked that we couldn't go to the beach, but hey, after a crazy week of travel, it was good to rest in a comfy bed. For dinner we went to the beach restaurant to get a pizza and while we were waiting for it we walked along the ocean because it had stopped raining. Then Erin dared me to run into the sea, and so I did it. The people who worked at the restaurant thought I was crazy, but hey, I never know when I’ll have the chance to go into the Mediterranean again!

The hotel staff was super nice and when they went on their morning newspaper run, they also bought our bus tickets to Rome for that day. That meant we got to sleep in a little bit longer before having to leave. The bus ride was… Interesting. The bus had seen much better days and the Italian roads are full of potholes making it a very bumpy ride. We made it to Rome though and took the Metro to the station closest to our hostel.
