Pompeii

We took one day out of our Sorrento stay to go to Pompeii (about 45 minutes away on the train).

It was really interesting. While most of the really cool artifacts are kept at a museum in downtown Naples, there was plenty to see here. Most of what we know about daily Roman life today is because of the sites uncovered by the Mount Vesuvius eruption.

We walked around, going through the bathhouse, by the bakers, and managed to find a brothel.

It's weird, but the photos just don't convey how interesting it was. There is just something really bizarre about wandering around in a city that was snuffed out in 79 AD by a volcano.
