Yeah, so the next day, we woke up uber early to take a train to Napoli, then another train to Pompeii. It was not the easiest process to get there, but well worth the long journey! (I never really realized how far Pompeii is from Rome!) Anyway, as mentioned before, the weather sucked and was raining pretty much the entire time, but the ruins were incredible! Pompeii is soooo huge and its like a maze... which made navigating interesting since our map was soaked and ripped about 10 minutes into our self guided tour!
This is me trying to be an ancient statue in the rain.... I think I survived better than the rest did!
Since we spent the whole day wandering through ruins, it's not necessary to recap everything, but the highlights included the Villa of Mysteries and of course, the ancient whore house with pornographic frescoes.
** Sorry for the graphic photos.... but I couldn't believe that they took the time to make pornographic frescoes! Those silly people from Pompeii, they must have been a riot... well until they all were covered in ash... hmm
That was all we did Friday since it takes so long to get there. Friday night we had to change hotels but we so excited to have comfortable warm beds and some English tv channels! Even if it meant I had to deal with the *way too flirtatious* hotel manager.
