Another gorgeous day in Italy! The morning began with a wonderful breakfast and a drive along the coast to Pompeii. We went through 3 tunnels, one of which was estimated to be 10 miles long. Wow. Most of the girls didn't notice - they were asleep :o

We ended up in the Pompeii ruins with a guided tour by Roberto, our local guide and Pompeii historical expert. Did you know that Pompeii was forgotten for 1700 years after the the Vesuvius disaster? Talk about an extinction event.

After the tour, we had lunch and walked the local shops before the 4 hr trip to the port of Bari. So long Italy. Hello Greece.
