Traveling really does give you some interesting adventures!

Our overnight ferry from Barcelona to Rome definitely was interesting... Not all bad though!
 We decided not to book a cabin because it would be too expensive. So, instead, we opted for the "pullman chair" option (basically just a recliner). Everything was just fine, 'til we were joined by 4 men who snored VERY loudly. And the seats didn't quite recline all the way. I ended up only getting about 2 hours of sleep total last night, but it was worth it to wake up this morning and see the beautiful blue Mediterranean outside our window!
Nicole and I arrived to Civitavicchia (a little port town about an hour outside of Rome) at about 7pm, and then caught a train into Roma Termini. It was a beautiful train ride, and I loved coming into the city at night when all of the old buildings were lit up :)
Unfortunately, we only knew how to get to our hostel by the metro, which we didn't know closed at 9pm. We got to the metro at 9:15. So, then we had to scramble around trying to find a bus that went to our stop- there are about 30 buses that stop at the train station. When we finally got onto our correct bus line, we went down a few stops and then discovered that we had been going the wrong direction. Oopsies! Luckily, a really nice local man helped us find the right stop going the right direction. After going about an hour out of our way, we finally arrived to our hostel, which is beautiful. It's in a really old apartment building and the people that work here are incredible. They recommended this delicious pizzeria to us right around the corner, where we got two large pizzas to fill our empty stomachs (we had only eaten a PB and banana sandwich before then at noon).
Sadly, we only have tomorrow to go exploring all of Rome. We are catching a train to Florence at 7:15, so it'll definitely be a busy day! I can't wait to see the city :)
