sunday 16 may 2010 - pompeii to athens via corinth canal

we are still on the overnight ferry, and a storm hit in the middle of the night at about 3am and the boat was rocking like a crazy thing till about 10am! not fun! i got up and had breakfast and then it got rougher and i had to go back to bed! we docked and hopped back on the bus, and headed to athens via the corinth canal.

the corinth canal is SO DEEP! ive got photos of it, but they honestly dont show how deep the canal really is, but have a peek anyway.

we arrived in athens and went straight into a guided tour of athens. we started at the acropolis and walked up to the pantheon and took photos, it was pretty dusty up there, so i look crap in all the photos, i could hardly see what i was taking haha.

we then drove through athens and took photos, although the buses got in the way, so there arent very many photos and i was pretty tired by then and i couldnt be bothered haha

we went to the hotel, arriving at 7.30pm and then headed out for a scrummy greek dinner at 8.15pm. so good! [crappy point n shoot SORRY!]

saturday 15 may 2010 - rome to pompeii

we left rome early, and headed towards pompeii. pompeii is amazing, its unbelieveble to think that the whole city was buried and forgotten for so long!
we did a walking tour, with a cute dog leading the way!
we saw all the neat things they had back then, like raised street crossing stones for when the street floods, hot food shops, and beautiful mosaic tiled floors. there was even a brothel with pictures on the wall depicting their menu, if you want to see those pics thoguh, youll have to email me, im not sure how appropriate they are! lol

we then drove to the overnight ferry which would take us from the port of bari to greece. we had a really yum dinner with scrummy hot chips, SO GOOD! best hot chips since we got here!
