We woke up and had breakfast in our campsite with views of the Amalfi coast then drove down from the mountainous peninsula to Pompeii.
We started off trying to explore every building but soon realised this was far too ambitious! I hadn’t quite grasped the scale of the place, there’s currently about 500 buildings open to the public! We explored the main square and temples, had some lunch to refuel, then crossed the ancient city to check out the amphitheatre which broke the feeling of being frozen in the roman times as it was full of gear setting up for a Pink Floyd concert!
We wandered back to the main square via a ‘lupanar’ (brothel) and a theatre and exited via the Antiquarium containing some of the more delicate artefacts and plaster casts of the bodies preserved in the Ash that Pompeii is so famous for.
After all that culture a big pizza dinner was required before a sleepy drive.
