Rome Blog 28th

Today we woke up early at 6:15 to catch our train from termini station to Naples. We had a pleasant train ride in carriages of 6 and then arrived. Naples was a complete dump, it was extremely dirty, there were piles of rubbish all over the sidewalks, and graffiti on the walls. There after a 15 minute walk through the crowded dirty streets of Naples, we reached the archaeology museum which was pretty impressive. It contained all sorts of artefacts from Pompeii which were in great condition. There was even a secret room which contained adult stuff from Pompeii. I loved all the complete bronze and marble statues which were fascinating to see in their complete state. We then returned to the train station for a 45 minute ride to Pompeii. Pompeii was a great site with incredibly well preserved buildings. We saw some great theatres, houses and temples. We stayed there for about 3.5 hours before leaving to return to the station. I quite liked Pompeii but I preferred Ostia antica because of the freedom that we had to run around the ruins. After our return to Naples, we took a fast train back to Rome and on the way back to the hostel we had dinner.
