I found this small campground about 4 kilometers from my destination, and stopped for the night. I&#8217;d passed two other small campground that had yet to open for the season. The campground is small, but hot showers and Internet. The showers didn&#8217;t include instructions, but fortunately they&#8217;re the same as those at an the campground past Genoa that included detailed instructions in English. I have yet to figure out how to recharge the phone, but I&#8217;ll find an outlet somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>As I sat in the area outside the bar\/kitchen, a group of young men asked me a few of the basic touring questions in a combination of broken English and Google Translate.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow I&#8217;m likely crossing into the mountains. Ostia Antica provided an extended Roman city so I&#8217;m less interested in Pompeii. I don&#8217;t really enjoy cycling into large cities, and Naples is the ninth largest in the EU. That said, the forecast in Naples is sun; the mountains call for thunderstorms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When wild camping, one typically gets up early and scrambles out.
