Back through the windy roads and away from the peninsula of Naples to Pompei. We had a local guide take us through the city of Pompei. It was just fascinating. A city of 20,000 people who were buried from the lava that flowed from Mt Vesuvius. It was so interesting to see all of the roads, buildings and structures of an ancient Roman Town. It was a great visit! The rest of the day was travelling to Florence; breaks every two plus hours to visit the amenities (which were free!!) and a bite to eat: or an espresso which I am enjoying. We watched Roman Holiday on the bus followed by Only You. This helped to pass time even though the scenery was lovely of the rolling hills and the farming areas. We arrived at a hotel just out of Florence which is almost out in the country. Just beautiful. Dinner at the hotel followed by the game between the Netherlands and Brazil. Another great day!!!
