So i'm a bit behind,but in the next two days i will catch up.So my 2nd and last day in Napoli (Naples),i decided to go see Pompeii with a couple friends i met in Bari.We take a bus and after a bit of a drive we arrive.Here's a tip,If you bring your passport,college i.d. you can get a discount to get in,but not a copy your actual passport.We paid 11 euros for entry and 6 for the bus ride. If any of you don't know,Pompeii is a partially buried Roman city in the region of Campania.This city was buried by a two day eruption from Mount Vesuvius burying the city atleast 5 meters.Rediscovered in the late 1500's by accident,till this day there constant excavation of the city showing how the people lived, worked,entertained etc.For me this was a history lesson that i never paid attention to in school but seeing it with my own eyes was amazing.From the way the water was distributed through the city,the craftmanship,the architecture etc.This city is huge so don't expect to see it aand be done in a couple hours.We were there 5 hours for the whole thing!Don't worry if you are tired there is a cafeteria serving subpar overpriced food,or what i would reccomend is to bring your own food take a break and sit amongst the history still standing surrounding you.This was a fun well worth day,and you must come here to see it for yourself!
