Day 3......

Vesuvius in the background - the volcano that buried Pompei

thousands of years old and so well kept!

In a basilica at Pompei

Another nice day in Naples today :) warm and sunny, we were wearing too many layers, it was singlet weather! saw something very different today, 2 people on a scooter taking a horse for a walk down the road !?!? don't see that in NZ! hahaha. thats just yet another new thing we have seen!

We went to Pompei today which was really interesting and couldn't have had better weather for it and there were no crowds except for when we were leaving. It's such a huge village built around 4000 years old and you can get a 5 day pass to see the whole thing. It was really pretty yet eerie but we got lots and lots of great pics, i think we took 442 pics today! we went round it on our own with an audio guide, Alisha repeated what it was saying and so she was our trusty tour guide for the day! it's amazing how well kept everything is, there are even drawings still etched into the wall and statues dating back to the 1st and 2nd century B.C.

We got to do a bit bit of shopping today and were suprised to find that in most shops your not allowed to try tops on but only pants!??! weird. Don't worry Mum and Dad, i didn't blow much money! The streets are getting a lot busier now with new years tomorrow, the shops are packed! Getting ready for the big feast we have ahead of us tomorrow! already, pizza, pasta, and espresso coffee are never going to be the same again after this trip!
