What an awesome day. We got up early and met our tour at 7 am. Yikes! We drove along the Amalfi coast. It looks just like it does in pictures. Our bus driver was fantastic as there were close to 2000 curves alot of them hair pin turns along this road. No one got car sick YEA. We stopped for lunch at a hotel in Maiori and ate on the roof top veranda overlooking the coast. It was beautiful and the authentic Italian pasta (with wine of course) was scrumptous. After the driving for awhile we got to Pompeii. Amazing, It was just perserved under 27 feet of ash waiting to be discovered. You could actually imagine what it was like to live there. They had copper pipes for running water. The most interesting thing to me was the streets that were paved with large stones and then every so often there would be 3 large stones across the street (like a speed bump) These were for the people to cross the street after it rained and the street turned into a river. The stones were placed far enough apart to allow for chariot wheels to go through them and the stones of the street were worn away in the groves of those wheels. I will try to get pictures on this site soon.
