Turkish bath style spas with steam rooms and plunge pools.
This morning we got up early and headed for the train station to get the Circumvesuviana to Pompeii. Pompeii is a Roman city discovered centuries after it was buried in ash from the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius back in the day (Yes I just wrote 'back in the day', I kept it in because I'm just so old skool).
Bodies of romans who died in the eruption, preserved by the ash that enveloped them.
We spent the afternoon enquiring about boat hire and using the pool.
Tiny tiles make up a huge mosaic on a rich Roman's courtyard floor.
Instead of signing the artwork the artist instead makes each facial characteristic resemble his own.
The bakery with oven (left) and grinding stones (right) which would have been turned by slaves using wooden poles in the holes at the side. They would grind the grain to make flour.
A whore house in the red light district. The girls are known as 'She Wolf's' and punters choose which one they want then point to the picture with the position they'd like to do form the wall.
Effectively a road sign in the street in the shape of a penis. They point in the direction of the red light district and the bigger they are the closer you are to the whore house.
A dog preserved by the volcano ash.
