Our first stop is Sorrento, Italy. So beautiful!
The ocean use to come right up to this ramp. It is where they would get all of their supplies. It took us an hour by train from the ocean to get here.
Gutters for the water to go when it rained
The small white rocks were reflectors so they could see the road in the dark.
Their court house. The grate we are standing on was a big hole where they would collect water.
All the pottery that was recovered.
The ash formed around these bodies. Most of the bones were gone. Notice the hand is up to his nose. Just shows how these people sufficated and were trying to save themselves.
The more painting on the walls the wealthier you were.
The town had businesses and homes mixed together. You know it was a business because the cement was built in the front and a gate would fit in the rut to protect them from thieves.
We went back to the boat and got our fancy clothes on for the formal night
Me and Aubrey soaking our feet in the hot tub
Another game of shuffle board
The boys thought they were SO hot in their tuxedos. So of course they had to model. We were laughing so hard.
This is one of the historical places I was excited to see. Pompeii. This city was covered in ash after a massive volcano erruption spanning 2 days in the year 79 AD. It was finally found in 1749 where they began excavating and discovering so of the most incredible things. The ash preserved a lot of the paintings on the walls and pottery. It even outlined a lot of bodies. It was so mind blowing seeing all of this in person.

They had spas. This was a massage table. Pretty comfy huh?
This was the steam room. They made these ruts in the ceiling so the moisture would run down the walls rather than drip on everyone

Homes didn't have the cement in front
