Fri.11th.Nov.
Decided to leave the van where it was and take bus and train to Pompelli. €2.80 each! Public transport is terrific value over here. Took us about an hour and a half but enjoyed the journey, Napoli is enormous and sprawls but colourful and never dull. Pompelli was amazing, you see pictures but nothing can prepare you for the reality. It's like visiting any other town except that there are no roofs and no residents. (Except stray dogs and cats.) Jan loves to touch the stones and pillars and imagine people walking where she is now walking, 2000 years ago. We walked the site for almost 6 hours and probably saw less than half of it. The weather was perfect, high 60s and clear blue skies. Lovely day. The journey back to Napoli on the train was made all the more pleasant as the sun was setting over the bay. Home for spag. bol and Skype with the Smigiels and Kenny. Worked well for a change, we're encouraged that it may work at the weekend with the kids. So far we've not had much luck in that direction. Sat. must move on and find laundrette as a matter of urgency.
