Napoli, Pompeii & Vesuvio
Have added some pics to previous post..check them out.
If we thought Rome was hectic wow!! Naples left it in it’s tracks!..the traffic is wild! Taxi ride from the train station was an experience..havnt seen one car without a dent!..anyway we settled in to the Napoli routine (sure)…
Main excurtion was a trip to the Pompeii ruins..magnificent site..would take a full day to cover it..we were limited to a couple of hours but had an entertaining guide with a definate interest in the history of the site & Italy in General.
Also had good english which helped a lot..but as he kept saying..all language comes from the Father & Mother.. (Latin & Greek).
Then went to Mt Ves!..the big one overlooking the Bay of Naples..Climbed to the top after the car dropped us about 30min short of the summit.. What a view!.
Next day visited Napoli Archeology Museum which stores all the finds from Pompeii and surrounding areas.
Phew..we are now in Florence & will report in a few days!
Hi all its me, hope everyone is well. Jack phelans food sounds really good at the moment, a pie and sauce or a sandwich or i would kill for some vegetables. Pizza pizza and more pizza it is good but not much variety. we did have vege soup tonight which was lovely and there is more variety than that i am just being silly. Anyway having fun, staying at a B&B for the next few nights and it is really lovely. Thanks for the comments, its great to read them and makes me homesick. bye love deb xx
