Sorrento and Pompeii 18th- 19th Sept

Working our way south through Italy (skipping Rome as we were meeting a friend on the 27th) our next stop was Sorrento. We really wanted to see Pompeii, and then we planned on going to Sicily to see Mt Etna.
Unfortunately Sorrento does not have much choice in Hostels so we ended up at this dodgy place outside of town and they kept asking if we wanted to pay for the extra beds in out room.



On Sunday the main street is closed to traffic so we had a nice wander around and then took the train to Pompeii. Pompeii is very very big, I knew that it was a town that had been preserved by a volcanic eruption, but I had no idea just how big it was. If you ever go here allow yourself quite a few hours (and don’t wander around town before hand.) A lot of the buildings and remains are very well preserved, and some of the murals still have colour.
