A long day today as we got up nice and early and caught the train to Naples then changed train to go to Pompei. About an hour and a half all up. Once again the sun was beating down, 34 degrees worth.

Pompei was a very cool place to visit. A lot bigger than we thought so didn’t quite get time to explore it all in the hot sun but what we did see was amazing.

We stopped at Naples on the way back for a late lunch and absolutely hated it. The worst place we have visited yet. It was so dirty and full of beggars and groups of middle Eastern men leering at us. After about half an hour of walking to try and find a better neighbourhood we managed to find a pizza place and have a good pizza (was created in Naples) then we were back to Rome as fast as we could.

Finally off to Croatia tomorrow where we can hopefully escape the heat by swimming in the Adriatic Sea.
