Day 7 - Cruise; Naples, Italy

Today we had to wake up very early at 5:30 am because we had and excursion to go to. We got off the ship and onto a bus that took us to the city of Pompei. It was destroyed when Mt. Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. We got to see the ruins. One house we went into was very well preserved - there was even ancient graffiti on the wall! On our excursion we also saw the beautiful town of Amalfi Coast. We were relieved when we got back to the cruise, though, because it was 36 degrees Celsius outside.

At dinner, we met the people sitting at our assigned table. They were all from our excursion, one woman Nikki and her two teenage daughters Josee and Sara. They were very nice. Dad didn't know they were from our excursion, so they asked them if they went on any. We all laughed when I told him they were on the same one!
