First Outing

Day 3 of being here without luggage + 2 days of travel = 5 days total of having no luggage. We at least have a spare set of clothes I had packed in our carry-ons, so we've been rotating sets of clothes while laundering the others.

We were in need of toiletries, though. Unfortunately, we are unable to shop at the stores close by until we obtain certain credentials.

So the small children and I bravely made our way into town today, which involved walking to the bus stop, choosing the right bus, paying fare (which I didn't figure out, so that ride was free...oops!), and getting off at the right stop.

We found a store similar to Walgreens and bought some toiletries. We also found the Lego store and the small children pooled their birthday Euros to buy a nice set. We got lunch, gelato, saw an old Roman aqueduct wall, and played at a playground. Then we walked back to the bus stop, paid fare this time (I accidentally paid for 3 adults, so I figure that balances us out for the free ride), and walked back to the hotel. An all around successful outing!
