Tour Pompeii-Check, Swim in the Mediterranean-Check, Wear a Speedo-NOPE!

Without any set plans or reservations, we thought it would be a great day to take the train out to Pompeii to visit the historical site buried almost 2000 years ago. Short story---it kicked our butt!!!! It was so hot, the archaeological site is MASSIVE! I thought it would be a little hole in the wall, NOPE! The long story-- the place amazing, how it was preserved for so long and looks so good even today. There are original frescos that are still on the walls decorating homes and the mosaics, especially on the floors are ridiculous, you'll see in the pictures. As I mentioned earlier, we toured the entire place, took a ton of photos, I have to start a new picture folder so they will be under the new folder. After Pompeii, we decided to take some time for RR, we went to a beach outside of Sorrento with black sand, old volcanic rocks, beautiful place! I don't have any photos of it because well....this is Europe and their beach attire is not suitable for pictures, especially to post on here, so I'm sorry! Tomorrow we are taking a boat out to the Island of Capri and hopefully go swimming in the Blue Grotto. Ciao.
