Travelling on to Abruzzo today. Set off after breakfast, walked to the station and got the local train to Naples. There were a couple of buskers playing fiddle and accordion - only English people gave them any money.
Had time at Naples station to buy some sandwiches and then caught the train to Rome. At Rome we knew we had to get the underground to another station to catch the train to Sulmona. Got there to be told that there had been a problem at that station and trains to Sulmona were going from Termini – where we had just come from. Luckily we had plenty of time to catch our connection. Back at the right station we were waiting for the platform of our train to be displayed. It was finally displayed two minutes before it was due to leave but after a mad dash through the station we caught it.

The train goes a very long and slow way round and takes about 3 hours. It was hot setting off from Rome but cooled as we go into the mountains and there was even a bit of rain. Clive who owns MonteViste, the apartment where we are staying, met us at the station. The apartment looks lovely, two bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom two living spaces and decking outside with a table.
