Pompeii was as we expected hot dry and dusty and alot of walking. lots and lots of walking on uneven paths with lots and lots of tourist. I would like most of these places more without all the tourists. We drove 5 hours and then got out and walked for 2 hrs... good fun for us lazy ppl. I am getting better at all this walking. Pompeii was buried in ash on the 27 August 79AD. How precise is that!! it erupted and buried the town in ash and then the other stuff came and sealed it all in. Which actually preserved all the art works and wood. The bodies you see in some of the shots are actually moulds.. they filled the holes as they found them and found out what was sealed in the ash. anyways here is some pics look it up in a history book if you want more info :P The hotel is great and so is the staff. The town itself is a small town that is built onto the side of a mountain and has city traffic... not fun to walk or drive in. We have had some good meals and some nasty.. As you do. i will do a quick catch up, 2 more posts!!
