Russian Rome, part 2

As you can guess next afernon we woke up with awful hangover, so from our place we ran to the nearest McDonald'sto renew ourselfes with some frenchfries and coke XD

we love Orvieto)
Alina wanted to get out of Rome, so we went to that cute small place Orvieto) Of course we enjoied it, but there are two best memories from that place: amazing Margherita with truffles just for 7 euro (so far was the best pizza ive tried) and wine Orvieto for 5 euro at train station) Actually there was a funny story with that wine) As we woke up late, we came to Orvieto only at 4, so we wanted to come back around 8. As you remember Orvieto is situated on the hill, so have to buy ticket to go up or down,and as you remember i was robbed, so we had only Alina's money. So at 8 pm we went down to take a train and discovered that the next train was only in 1,5 hour. And we had only 6 euro left. Well, we decided to find some store to buy wine to make time go faster, but there were no stores! Actually we found only open marcet where we bought peaches and totally empty church (like in horrow movies). So disappointed we came back to the train station, and there in a cafe we found wine, amazing Orvieto wine for 5 euro! Ooooh, it was so good, we were just sitting alone at the empty train station and drinking it, do i have to say that we slept all way back to Rome?)

And, my friend Yura came, so we met him next day. Actually we had to get out of appartment we stayed that day,so we brought Alina's luggage to the train station, left it there and went to Sicilian cafe, that was situated right infront of the train station (Via Solferino, 2) where Alina tried real Cannolli and Latte di Mandorla. Also we went to see that keyhole, that Alina was obsessed with, and just walked around. At evening we met Yura and his brother and went to some tratoria that i found the day before. I have to write about that place,. It was real family tratoria, with very good and very cheap food right in the city cente - dont miss it! It is on the Via della Rotonda, youcan find it easily) After we told my friend that we had no place to sleep that night andhe offered to stay at their room in hotel (yeah!). So we took some wine, nutella and went there, where we tried to oped wine without bottleopener and finished nutella (or i finished it XD).

Next day all of us were leaving^ Alna- hone, my friends - to Milano, and i went to Napoli!

P.S. you could be interested what hapened to my money) Well, Alina gave me her credit card andmy mom charged it, but russian bank's are veeeery slow,so money came when i was in Napoli already for several days)
