Headed off to Sorrento today, on the way we visited Pompeii. Incredible place, walking cobblestone streets and pathways, past houses and shops, remarkably well preserved for a city destroyed by a volcano. Surprisingly one of the most well preserved buildings was the "lupanar", inside the paintings above each room showed what particular service you could expect. Incredibly graphic, remarkably intact for being buried by volcanic ash 2000 odd years ago. (You can google what a "lupanar" is) then off to Sorrento for two nights. Lovely seaside village, great food and atmosphere, I prefer the beaches at Sorrento Australia, these ones are covered in rocks, pebbles and volcanic grit. Doesn't seem to bother the locals who lay down their towels. I imagine that sand in the cossie would be a tad abrasive. Great weather over the two days, limencello aplenty (obviously)
