Our tour director said we couldn’t possibly be ready as quickly and as early as we promised. To which our students replied, “Oh, no he didn’t!” We got away early (5:30) without a hitch (Oh, yes we did!) Wait, one hitch someone forgot their pajamas in Rome (name withheld). We arrived in Pompeii at 9:30 after a snack stop and chocolate buying spree.
Pompeii was spectacular. A large site that gave us a sense of what a Roman city was like. Students can describe the tour highlights later. Suffice it to say the art preserved in some of the rooms was interesting.
We drove across the ankle (?) of the boot of Italy after stopping for a photo-op on the Amalfi Coast. It was breathtaking, and everyone marked that down as a place to visit in the future.
We made the ferry at Brindisi with time to spare. Small but comfortable rooms. Grumpy staff in the café (some things are the same no matter where you travel).
Tomorrow we will awake in Greece (that sounds wrong). Tomorrow we will embark at Patras (that sounds better).
