Pompeii

Today was a long but fun day . The day started out at 5:30 with an early wake up . It was so hard waking up early . We got off the ferry and went into the city of Naples , Italy . We went to a small restaurant for breakfast . Breakfast was ... Umm ... Well ... I'll say we've had better . It was all carbs . A croissant , bread , and corn flakes . Apparently a very traditional Italian breakfast but I am not so sure . From there we got on our bus and drove to a water park ! Yes we did go to a water park and had a very nice, relaxing morning swimming , going in the wave pool , and going down the water slides. It was a very nice water park And it felt so nice to unwind for 5 hours . From there we got back on the coach and drove to lunch . Lunch was gnocchi ! It tasted so amazing ! Better than most I've had in America.From there we drove an hour to the town of Pompeii . I was very excited to see these ruins . In my mind it Is fascinating how a whole city could be covered in ash . We had a guided tour of the city . There was a theater , stores , spas , And many more ! They had an amazing all natural spa it is amazing! In my mind that they created all of that . There was so much history there. The city was actually discoverd by grape farmers who were digging to find a natural stream. From there we had free time to walk around the town . Then we walked to dinner it was pasta , pork and potatoes. Then we had gelato ! Good night every one!

  1. I have always regretted not getting off the train to see Pompeii when I traveled Italy years go. I know I missed an opportunity! It seems like you and gelato have connected!
