Going to Pompeii


   We left our hotel at 8.00 this morning and we are going to Pompeii, this is some of the beautiful 
   Italian countryside on the way.


   In the distance on top of the hill near the tree, you can just see a big building, it is the monastery, which was bombed by the Germans 70 years ago



   In the distance on the mountain is snow!


    We arrive at Pompeii after 3 hours and check out the size of the lemons
   
  1. The city of Pompeii was an ancient Roman town-city near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania, in the territory of the comune of Pompei. 


       Four cemetaries were found


        



       These are the amphitheatre.



       The centre stage in the amphitheatre 


        The white marble used to be all over the seating 


       These are at the top of the amphitheatre, the ruins are incredible





        This was apparently a restaurant 


       They would have their own gardens sat the back


        This was the main st of Pompeii.



       This is the original roof in the baths 


       A fortified body


        This was the red light district, and the drawings would show some of their services



        Drinking fountain


        Looking down the narrow streets


       The Main Street 


       More fabulous pictures
