Re: pompeii

RS I so long to return again , I spent a few hours there a long time ago . What a place , i kept thinking of all those poor souls hiding and hoping they would survive , i believe around 2000 were found ( watched a TV documentary recently ) a terrible terrible way to die . Did you go to Herculaneum where many bodies were found about 25 years ago hidden by the dock side inside the rocks ?

Also I was told the people of that time were small , average height around 5' , it's strange when we imagine the gladiators as big men .

Did you get a package holiday there as I'd like to return for about 3 days and stay nearby

Re: pompeii

I'll be there and off to Herculaneum early next month, realspeed, and can't wait! Gorgeous photos as ever. It looks the weather was gorgeous; I'm expecting to bake.

Re: pompeii

It's really something isn't it......look out for the penis carved in the pavement Surfermom.....not joking it shows the direction to the nearest brothel

Edited to say..

They sell paper parasols at the entrance to protect you from the sun as there is no shade...my advice...buy one..
