I was in Greece for about a week and a half and it didn't rain once (at least not that I remember, so not while I was walking around). I've been in Italy for 4 days now and it has rained every single day.
I spent the first couple of days in Naples. I went out to Pompei and got rained on. Not just a little; torrential downpour, thunder and lightning. But then it would stop for 20 minutes or so, before doing the same thing again. I was intended to climb up to the top of Mt. Vesuvivo afterwards but that idea got washed out.
I left Naples and came to Rome, and immediately I decided that I liked Rome [much better than Naples]. I don't know what it was exactly but the city just felt "nicer".
I'm here until the end of the week then I'm on my "break" for the week.
The plan tonight is to head off to the Spanish Steps Pub Crawl. The metro line stops before Midnight so I don't really have any idea how I'm going to get back to the hostel. Hopefully it will sort itself out.
I've finally got some sort of plan for what I'm going to be doing for some days in the future - basically planned out my time in Italy -> which was required because I needed to figure out how the days would match up with my Railpass. I'll go into details about that when I have more time, but essentially the city list is:
Rome -> Florence (day to Pisa) -> Bologna -> Venice -> Milan -> Switzerland (Zurich)

Hey Al..you don't mention a lot of details regarding if you actually like the places you are visiting. I think you should starting giving your destinations star ratings based on overall fun, excitement, worthwhileness, and so on. That way your broad readership will know if the destination is worth traveling too! Sounds like you're having a great time. I'm super jealous!
