We spent the morning running around Naples trying to find a post office. The first one we found only acted as a bank - naturally. We continued our search (with directions) and after 2 hours we found another post office which had 1 teller for postage, and 8 for banking. The automatic doors were not working, so we had to queue in the hot sun until security manually let people through. Upon reaching the counter we posted 4 postcards.
After this excursion we managed to have a 20 minute lunch before quickly collecting our luggage and briskly walking to the station. We were very pleased with ourselves that we had made the train to Bari after our dilemma filled morning.
Arriving at Caserta, the departure board showed our connecting train to Bari was 30 minutes late. We were not too concerned because we still had 1 .5 hours at the other end to make our way to the dock... 30 minutes later the delay had increased to 50 minutes... this increased our nervousness a little but the conclusion was not yet forgone...
Finally we left an hour late and lost another hour in the journey to Bari. Thus, we missed the boat by 5 minutes. The only boat to Greece.
This forced us to have an unplanned but lovely day in Bari, checking out the old city, city wall and castle.
