Day 13- First Day in Italy



Well after we finally landed from the overnight ferry we took a nice 4 hour drive to Pompeii. When we were not sleeping we were able to enjoy the beautiful Italian country side and admire all the green a beautiful hills. We eventually got to Pompeii and began our guided tour of Pompeii. There we were able to see the enormous city that was destroyed by Mt. Vesuvius. The city was huge, both Nick and I were amazed by how big it was compared to what we imagined. The volcano was a few miles away and the town was completely in ruins. It was very neat to be able to see the old center of town and the baths and fountains that still remained. The site even still had a body preserved there in glass, (well the remains of it). Then we finally got to Rome. After a full day of traveling we just relaxed in our hotel room.
