Pompei!

We woke up early to enjoy our nice view of the sunrise over Mt. Vesuvius, snapped a few pics, and took advantage of the free breakfast with coffee! After some deliberation we figured it would be best to check out the ruins of Pompeii. There was an aussie couple and a girl from New Zealand that we ran into at check out that were heading that way so we tagged along with them.

The bus ride from Naples to Pompeii was quick; we absorbed some of the beautful scenary as well as some travel tips from our new friends who had just spent some time in Vietnam.

The city of Pompeii was, in its day, a vacation spot for the wealthy Romans. The streets were made of these massive uneven stones which made walking a challenge. Most of the ruins looked similar, not to say that they were not impressive just some areas were better preserved than others. More specifically the building made for washing wool which had a pretty elaborate design. We read that urine was used in the cleaning process and was actually taxed and sold as a commodity. One of the coolest parts of the grounds was the olloseum/arena, not because of the mass bloodshed that took place before the volcano tore up the town, but according to our new friend Pink Floyd played a show there in the 70’s… Pretty sick right? We snapped a bunch of photos of the area and of course took a shot of the bodies that were preserved in the ash (they poured liquid plaster into the indentation in the ash to make it solid).
After Pompei, we hopped on a train to Sorrento, and as soon as we pulled in, we knew we loved it! There were Lemon trees and Orange trees everywhere!!! Luckily too…we met this really nice and very kind of posh British girl who told us about a camping area right near her hotel! And she was righht….it has an AMAZING view! And was super cheap! So we set up our tend…mostly Brad actually..changed out for a stroll in the the city! The Lemoncello shops there were like wineries…they gave you samples at everyone…so Brad and I went into everyone we saw haha! It’s pretty good…the creamy ones taste a bit better! We ended up getting a bottle…at the supermarket of course because its way cheaper…along with some food which saved us lots of money too! We went back to our campsite and drank our lovely lemoncello with some lovely conversation before we went out to the bars! I kicked Brads butt in some fuseball…we walked by a pizza place closing down and Brad got us an awesome deal on some delicious pizza…and we went home for a pretty early but great night!
