Pompei

This is another story of 'if I wasn't so hot I would care'. Blech I feel so gross.

Got up at 830 this morning with a sore throat but it cleared up by the end of the day whoop whoop!
Had breakfast and out the door. Caught the bus to the train station and got a train to pompeii.

The train was hot and smelly and took like 50 min. When we got there we decided to have lunch before tackling the ruins. I had a panini ala caprese (tomato and mozzarella with basil). I love their mozza here in italy, so fresh!

Anyways, went into the ruins.... no audio guide, no guide, no map. What a mistake. Didn't get to see everything before we died of heat exhaustion... boo. Good thing was it was nice and quiet and it is so big there aren't a lot of people.

Olive Press.... mmm



The big bad Viseuvius (spelling) volcano


On our way to teatro piccolo


Finished our visit with another lemon slushie
and it was straight back to Napoli and the hostel to shower.

Tomorrow we fly to Paris and I am so happy to be back in a normal climate. May even get to use a sweater again. I suppose I could be like the crazy people here and wear black sweaters and pants but then I would surely die. I don't know how they can do it.... and don't tell me they are used to it cause I saw Italians sweating in Capri!!

Anyways, our flight is at 2pm so it will be check out and hang out at the airport which is a ok with me!!! T-9 sleeps till I am home!!!

One last picture... guy who was in the wrong place at the wrong time!
