Day 57 - Change of plan

Because of the Lebanon situation we spent most of the day rearranging our plans while still trying to keep some of the accommodation and flights that we couldn't cancel without penalty. Our plan had been to use Cyprus as the stepping stone between Lebanon and Israel, so we looked into all the options we had to keep the Cyprus and Israel parts unchanged. 

We ended up finding flights from Rome to Malta, and then another from Malta to Cyprus that arrived on the same day we had originally planned to arrive from Lebanon, so we only had to cancel the Lebanon to Cyprus leg. 

We needed to spend four more nights in Italy before the Malta flight and hire a car and drive south to the famed Amalfi Coast before heading back to Rome for the flight to Malta. 

After finally getting all that out of the way we went for a walk through our seaside suburb of Fregene to what looked like quite a dangerous beach with very dark sand and quick drop off, with evidence of rips. The beach was quite underdeveloped and not that appealing, it was also the off season so it was very quiet. We wandered back through the quiet town, discovering that nearly everything was closed between 12pm and 4pm.
