Today we got up at half 8, got ready, got ourselves some breakfast in the guest kitchen and then got the 9.30am train into Naples. Naples is about 15 minutes down the line so we arrived in time to get me some pic n mix and grab a big bottle of water for the day. We met up for our tour just outside the station and from there it was about 20 minutes to Pompeii. I was looking forward to it because I remember it as a highlight of my trip when I visited as a teenage...

Unfortunately a bout of insomnia hit me last night and I was unable to get to sleep until about 7am meaning I got a grand total of 2 hours sleep. We got up, dressed and checked out by 10.30am. We caught the train to Naples, which was about 2 hours. We then got a metro train to our stop in the Vesuvius national park.

We both had a cheese and ham omelette followed by a chocolate and cream waffle. It was a good start to the day. Then we had a walk over to whe...

We missed breakfast so decided once we were dressed to head straight to lunch. As we were walking from our hotel to the metro a man in a car pulled over asking for directions. Adam went over whilst I stood on the pavement, assuming he would just tell the bloke we were English and that would be the end of it. ...

So we had a reasonable lie in this morning and woke up at 9. After getting ready we headed downstairs for breakast. I say 'breakfast' but I actually mean we stopped at reception desk where we got a coffee and a pastry haha. Our first stop this morning was the Vatican museum. I had booked tickets online so we walked straight in, if you hadn't booked tickets the queue to get in was 3 hours! Walking around was quite nice, basically a lot of marble c*** , but the c...
