Yesterday we took the bus from Rome into Pompeii which was really cool! It is a gigantic acheological dig site and its really amazing how well it was recovered after thousands of years under ash. We visited the old bath house, the forum and a brothel. The structures were very advanced for the time period of the buildings, the steam rooms and fountains were brilliant! After this we took the train to Sorrento, which is a sea side town on a mountain. It looks as though it came right out of Pinterest, its so cute. From there we took the small ferry over to Capri Island, which i have decided is my dream home. The houses are so beautifully coloured, the water is brilliant blue and the forest is so lush and green. We did a boat tour around the island because it was to windy for the boat to make it into the Blue Grotto. I got lemon gelato and sat by the monestary's garden over looking the town and sea. We got back to Sorrento to have dinner at our hotel and a bunch of us played card games until late in our hotel room. This morning we drove 5 hours to get to the ferry. Here is where we had to say good bye to Fabio:'( Fabio was absolutely amazing. He was our bus driver during our stay in Italy and had only been on the job for 2 months. He always put our safety first and dressed very smartly. We gave him a christmas ornament with his name on it in Sorrento and he cried and thanked us all so much. He was upset to be leaving us today and told us that we were his number 1 favorite group he has ever driven. Fabio will be deeply missed by all of us. We are now stuck on an 18 hour ferry ride to Greece and thank the Lord, i have WiFi to get me through it!
