Rome - Pompeii

3 July
Roma - Pompeii

We had news that our lovely sister, Sarah, had given birth to a beautiful baby boy, Joseph. So pleased by this news our morning was filled with happiness. Chatting to family and sharing the joys was the highlight of our morning.

We decided not to go into town but move on toward Pompeii. A chap we had met in Rome recommended the Spartikus Campsite. We spent most of the afternoon in the pool cooling us from the drive.

It has a superb location across the road from the Pompeii Ruins. Our site was right next to the reception though. One thing you will come to notice, is that in the Naples region they rent rooms by the hour. And being next to reception – we learnt this here. All night, cars came in and out, giggling girls on the back of motorbikes and chatter. Very interesting for what seemed like a family resort. It was decided that the guy who recommended the site must have been placed deeper in the site – further away from the chalets.
