From Rome To Pompeii

Friday the 28th

Hi All,

26 hours in transit we are knackered!! Except for Jill who apparently slept all the way!!!!! Air Terminal in Rome chaotic no air bridges bus to terminal 400 people queued with only two passport lanes operating.
High speed taxi into Rome very interesting 140 kph taxi driver on the phone the whole time waving his hands about. Motor bikes and Scooters passing at high speed we did our best to stay calm.
Went to Termini Station to check the trains to Naples and Pompeii and got accoosted by beggars, We spoke to a tour operators who talked us into booking a bus tour rather making our own way by train.
Back to the motel to freshen up before going out for a 4.00 p.m dinner so we can turn in early and get some much needed sleep fell into bed after two champagnes for a longggggggg sleep.

ciao



Hi All,

Saturday 29th up early in the morning to join the 7.30 am Appian line tour to Naples and Pompeii. Drove through town headed down Auto Strade del sol towards Naples. We had a quick 40 minutes tour of the Highlights of the city of Naples. Then onto to Pompeii for 3 course meal for lunch.It was then time for a two half hour tour of the Pompeii Ruins. Amazing awe inspiring worth every euro the ruins were much more comprehensive than any of us had imagined, our tour guide Fernando was very informitive and made the day a great experience. Came back to Rome at 8.30p.m. Back to motel to freshen up before dining alfresco in a lovely Trattoria on classic Pizza's and Pasta great meal fantastic day had by all.
We will fill in more detail tomorrow all knackered as it is past our bed time.
