Pompeii

Pompeya was much larger than I expected, but once the tourists started arriving it quickly felt much smaller!! We spent the majority of our day wandering the cobbled streets and peeking into the old houses.
HIGHLIGHTS: discovering the old-time zebra crossings (really that's what they are!!) and doing out own Abbey Road shot with Mt Vesuvius in the background. Discovering the most popular building on the site with a huge line of people outside... yep, you guessed it, the old brothel, with pictures of positions painted on the walls just like a menu ("mmm, I'll have two of those and that one on the side thanks").
LOWLIGHTS: for what we paid, the site is in pretty poor condition. There was no written information about what we were looking at and although we had a book, being in Italian we didn't quite understand... and they had chucked the bodies like the one in the photo, into like a garden shed that we just happened to stumble upon!!!
