• Bus trip to Napoli and Phillipi

    Today was brilliant exploring the remains of the ancient city of Phillipi.
    By 8:30 we were on our way to Napolis - approximately a 2 hour journey- our first stop of the day. This is where Paul first landed and from here the gospel message started spread through Europe. The Ancient City's port which nowadays is called Paliapoli (Old City) It is a beautiful sea port today. Acts 16
    Finally arrived at ruins of the city of Phillipi. They were so interesting and I’m was amazed at the knowledge of our guide Emily.
    We saw the place where Paul and Silas as prisoners were kept. The people in the market place would have been able to see them and hear them singing hymns. Acts 16:16-40.
    Then it was time for lunch. Our waiter went through all the drinks available then said they have ‘water with gas’ we just started laughing - never heard of sparkling water described like that before🤣
    Then back on the bus to the place where Lydia was baptised - it’s like as oasis. Acts 16 :11- 15. As you stand there all we could hear was the sound of the little river making its way down.
