Pompeii and Not-Really-Napoli, Italy

Saturday, 15th September - Monday, 17th September '12
I was a lazy mofo in Napoli. I went for a walk for about 1 hour until my room was ready and the rest of the time I spent in the breakfast room on my pc. Naturally the internet never worked in my room, so that's why I had to sit in the open with the receptionists judging eyes always on me. I found Naples to be very dirty... and kind of intimidating. I went out every night to a square nearby and ate pizza most nights. It was quite well priced and good food.

I spend Sunday writing an assignment for university. It was the biggest load of wank I've ever written in my life, I feel so bad for my tutor who has to read it. The only worthwhile thing I did while in Naples was go to Pompeii on the Monday. It was a little ways away by train, but once arriving at the station, I tacked myself on to a tour group in English. There was an Australian family, a young canadian couple with a son under one years old and an old American couple. I don't remember if there were others, but nobody in my age range, so I just kind of just hung out at the back of the queue. The guide was Italian and his accent was so thick, I understood maybe one word of ten.
Pompeii was much smaller than I imagined, but other than that I didn't have much expectations and it was amazing to see it, and how well preserved so much of it was.
