Yay Pompeii!!

We went to Pompeii today. Managed to sort out the trains and even get off at the right station. Though we did get conned by some old man at the Naples train station....he did get us tickets and on the Pompeii train ...but for a price. It was cool seeing all the sights we have heard about and seen on telly since we were kids.
The train we went down on travelled at speeds up to 280 km/hour....just a bit faster than the Sunlander. Put up with Amy and her grumbles but her first piece of Italian pizza and chocolate donuts quickly fixed that and she was back to our Amy again.

 This needs explaining.  All the guides stop their tours an show this stamp in the pavement.  It is of a penis and it points the brothel district.  I watched 3 tours groups within 3 minutes stop and have this pointed out.


 Trying to do the Beetles across the stepping stones.  They are everywhere it was how you crossed the street.
 Placed was packed with school groups and USA college tours.  Looking down a street avoiding the kids in the forum.

More impressive considering this in the middle of the suburbs of Naples.
