Pompei and Men!

Hi all

Right, day 2 in Pimonte, I took a bus to Castalamarra once again and then the train to Pompei. In Pimonte they seem to work on something far worse than Africa time! I sat at the bus stop (bus comes round every 15min. or so they claim) for 2hours waiting for the bus, then just as I was about to burst into tears..........okay right my eyes were watery by then, the bus finally arrived!

Pompei is a stunning place. I spent 4hours walking around in the old city that was ruined by war and then the Vulcano. It is just amazing and no words can explain what you see and feel when walking through a stone city that no one lives in any more. I wish I could publish some photos but will have to try and to that over the weekend for you as now and here it is not possible, and the computers settings are all Italian and my "Word Bible" is in my room.

Then I made my way back to Pimonte in the late afternoon. Only to realize that it is a holiday in Italy and there are no busses in the afternoon!

Yes I know this can only happen to me!!!

So I sat at yet another bus stop for 2hours while every Italian man in the area drove past hooting at me and if I have to hear "Ciao Bella" one more time!!!

So many of the men on Vespas stopped to offer me a "lift" it was shocking, then the men in cars start pulling up next to you stop the car sit there staring at you and hoot all the time......and any man I mean it! All ages they are not shy! One guy and his girlfriend asked me if I wanted I ride with the 2 of them and said something which after saying no thanx and checking the "Word Bible" meant they wanted to know if I was a hostess! O yes, you feel realy cheep trust me it is honestly as bad as I make it out to be! But o well!

The hotel then sent a driver for me, and as you can only imagene before I got into the car I asked him 700 questions to which he sweetly replied in his very very broken english.

Okay I have got to go now, cant use their internet for ever.

Wish I could stay and chat as there is so much more to tell you all!

Well till next time then, when I will tell you all about Capri

Take care all and Have a wonderful weekend.

Please feel free to mail or post a note to me, I would love to hear from you all

Regards
