Hi again, sorry no Internet yesterday so I am catching up today. Friday was a long but wonderful day as our guide Bruno and driver Luciano took us along the breathtakingly beautiful Amalfi coastline. The drive was adventurous to say the least as it seems there are few rules for drivers in Italy and the bus drivers are very skilled at keeping us safely on the road and not down the side of a mountain.
The afternoon was a visit to the ruins of Pompeii. Buried by Vesuvius over 2000 yrs ago, the excavation and discovery of this ancient city began over 260 years ago and archaeologists continue to excavate today.
It was unbelievable to walk through the ruins and imagine life in Pompeii 2000 Years ago. Some surprising facts were shared by our fantastic guide.
On to the Vatican next..... Sea you there!
