Yesterday we went to Pompei and Mt. Vesuvio!! We took cabs to a nearby city called Aversa where the train station is, then rode the train to Napoli then another train/tram to Pompei. It was a very nice day because the sun wasn't out. Well we went up to the top of the volcano and couldn't see ANYTHING!! We were stuck in a rain cloud basically. Usually we would have been able to see the city as well as the crater, but not yesterday! We were all drenched as you can see in the picture.
A picture of me and behind me is the crater. Great view huh? :)
I got a few postcards and a bracelet made of lava stone and another stone from the volcano then we went back down. The bus trip up and down the mountain was not fun. Soooo many turns and dips and slowing down and speeding up. Not good for motion sickness :/
We ate at a place in the town close to all the shops and places to go up to the mountain. Everyone at every restaurant was offering "the best food for the cheapest price!!"...it got old after hearing from 6 different restaurants that they had the best food.
We then went to the ancient city of Pompei...We were there for almost three hours and only saw half of the ruins. It was soo neat!! I couldn't believe how big it was!
Today is my first day with the kids! I start in 6 minutes :)
