Even though Pompeii was amazing, the whole travelling thing to get there was HORRIBLE. We had to take a train to Sorrento, Italy because we were staying in a bed and breakfast there. We had 2 different addresses for the bed and breakfast so of course we ended up going to the wrong address first…. Oh and of course it had to be raining. It wasn’t just a sprinkle of rain, it was POURING down rain, with lightning, and thunder….Oh yeah and HAIL. 2 hours later we finally made it to our bed and breakfast, soaking wet with our soaking wet backpacks and we finally checked into our room. The hostel was really nice, but our trip was not off to a good start. We took out our clothes from our backpacks only to find that they were soaked as well!! Not good when you only have 3 shirts for the weekend!! The next day, we went to Pompeii and had a blast! The sun was shining, and there was not a cloud in the sky!! We could have spent an entire day there, because there was so much to explore! When we saw the body casts of the people who suffered the eruption of the infamous Mt. Vesuvius, it broke my heart. These poor people did not know what was happening, what to do, or where to go. We went to some other ruins around Pompeii, but they were not nearly as cool. Pompeii was one of the coolest places that I have ever seen. It amazes me how there are still columns standing, that they have been there since 79 AD and survived through one of the most violent volcano eruptions the world has ever seen! That is unbelievable to me! All in all, Pompeii was awesome and I loved it. And now it just makes me laugh to think about our experiences walking through the streets of Sorrento for 2 hours in the rain. :]
