We just got back from our weekend trip to Pestum, Sorrento, and Pompeii! Pestum is the best preserved Greek city in the world (located in Italy). So there were several temples to Greek gods and other remains of the city. We had quite possibly the most awkward tour guide possible who informed us that he would also join us in Pompeii (woo!).
Afterward we piled onto the massive coach bus again to Sorrento. Our drive was right along the coast of Italy and went right up into the mountains. We stayed at The Grand Hotel, which had free live music at night (where we may or may not have started a conga line with the elderly staying there).
We left in the morning for Pompeii which is an ancient Roman city that was preserved as a result of a volcanic eruption. It was a HUGE historical site. There were lots of vendors outside, one of which thought I was Australian and gave me a free postcard!
So I'd say it was a successful weekend overall! Miss you all!
