Stadio Comunale Italia

We had a short visit to Sorrento and we all wished we had one more night to look around but that was not possible. Today we took the so-called express train to Pompeii and got royally ripped off on the tickets. The price was 105 euros and the return was less than 20 euros on a slow train. We did a bit of walking today. We had a quick lunch not far from the ruins. Our tour of Pompeii was excellent. Our tour guide Italo was hilarious and just added that as part of the tour. He gave some very interesting information about the ruins and its excavation. I only wished we could stay longer. I missed seeing the people they found in their death form but I would probably get more out of a documentary. It is funny how I stood by a church and overlooked Pompeii's ruins. You're looking at a big city that is below that level and also how far the sea has retreated from its port. A good 15-minute walk away. The area and land formation have changed in so many ways. I guess too that I will never complain about a hard bed again considering the people slept on rocks, and bricks, and had stone pillows. This was seen throughout the bordellos of the times. They also had fresco paintings on the walls to communicate sexual activities and who you wanted to have sex with, male, female, or young boy. Penis phallic symbols are all over the place. Pompeii is just a very interesting place. It was considerably hot today but thank god for a nice breeze every once in a while. Once the tour ended we proceeded to our next adventure, getting to the island of Capri and Anacapri. We picked up our bags at the storage locker and walked to the port. We caught the ferry for 1630 or so and it was not filled with many people going over. We arrived at Capri which was a hustle and bustle of tourists.Baca lagi
