It was a early wake-up today 6 am, so we could catch the bullet train from Florence to Naples. Everyone did a great job. If you have not experienced the trains in Europe, I suggest you give it a try one day. Our train hit a high speed of 320 KM per hour. Most of the students on the train caught up on sleep ans so did some of the parents and chaperones, but some of us decided to catch the beautiful views of the countryside of Italy. We finally arrived in Naples around 11 and Oshry quickly tried to take us to the bus, but before that happened Mr. Holley jumped in to quick action and became a super hero. I will again let him explain.
After Holley's heroism, we finally arrived at our bus. Oshry had a wonderful surprise for us in Naples. He decided to let us stop at probably the most wonderful views that I have ever seen overlooking the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. It was breathtaking. After we took some picture, it was off to Pompeii. During our ride we realized that the volcano overlooking Pompeii erupts about every 73 years and the last time it erupted was in 1942. That' a little scary to me. We finally arrived in Pompeii and enjoyed a wonderful lunch. Pizza Pasta. Pompeii is a extraordinary place that just stopped in time. It was great to see the students ask our guide Maximo so many great questions about the ancient city. So many of them were so engaged. It was quite a wonderful tour of the ancient city. After the tour we had the opportunity to enjoy a lemonade or icee. Delicious. You know because of the ash from the ancient eruption that lemons and other types of fruits grow about three times there regular size. Next we were off to the beautiful city of Sorrento. The drive was filled with some of the most breathtaking views you will ever see in life. Our hotel is also full of beautiful views.
