Salerno to Pompeii (Part 3)

It was over 90 degrees when we arrived in Pompeii with almost no shade unless you could plaster yourself up against a wall.  Our bus load was broken into several smaller groups and each given a tour guide.  In the group that I was with we only saw one of the plaster casts of people killed in the eruptions. After reading articles in National Geographic for 50 years I was hoping to see more.

The guide pointed out that up there, where that church is,was the ground level before Pompeii was discovered.  So glad that someone's curiosity lead to this great discovery and that the work continues.

Returned to the ship about 5 pm and sailed at 6 pm
