Pompei Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Woke up in the hostel after a well needed rest.

Bought some pastries, bananas, and a candybar, and went on our way towards the train station.

Got to the station and the next train for Pompei didn't come for an hour. So, we found an internet cafe and did a little email, couch surfing, and planning.

We get back to the train st...

On the Train to Terontl – just left Perugia. Lovely country side. A guy walking through the train playing the button accordion. Caravans throughout the countryside – looks like a 'community' because it looks like the caravans re there permanently, with vines planted as fences.

As I detailed...

Another opportunity for me to feel smart courtesy of my four years of Latin... ...Today I took the train to see the ruins of Pompeii. Now the eruption of Vesuvius and the ruins of Pompeii is something we talked a lot about in Latin, so when I arrived in Pompeii it was special because this is something I had learned so much about, and finally I w...

Well-fortified for our day, we made our way off the ship and met up with Bill & Helen (Truckee CA). Our tour driver, Dominic, was ready for us. Unfortunately, there was a miscommunication about the meeting time, but we were soon on our way with Laurie & Matt (Las Vegas NV) also joining us. Dominic was young, jovial, and happily shared informatio...
