Pompeii was amazing, it was really interesting to see all the building uncovered, that were almst perfectly preserved when Mt Vesuvius erupted in 79AD. there are even plaster moulds of people who were buried in the ash and when the bodies decayed they left void in the rock and people filled them with plaster cast, which created moulds of a man sitting down wainting for the enevidable, a pregnant women trying to protect her unborn child and also a dog who was not unchained when the mountain erupted so could not escape. his body is in a mangeled position where you can see him trying to break free from the chain. it was all very morbid but an interesting step back in time.
We then traveld t the ferry where we were on a night cruise to Corfu an island of the caost tof greece, i can literally see the greecian mainland from our balcony!!!
we had a look around the town today and will be doing a whole lot of nothing while we're here... cant wait!!!
