Jun 23 Catherine and Jack arrived from London around 1130hrs and are getting organized on the boat we caught a taxi to visit Pompei.

An elderly tour guide assisted us around the site, very impressive. The sophistication of the excavated city was impressive, with underground sewerage, piped water, construction and urban planning of a significant port trading and commercial centre – all terminated in a matter of hours.
