So two days ago we went for a day trip to Ostia Antica and its was great, after wondering around with the group for a while, i found myself falling behind with a friend this quickly turned into us becoming completely lost, we ran through the labyrinth of ancient walls and ruins upon ruins. After being lost for about 5mins we turned it into a game which we called our 'French expedition', the group was nowhere to be seen we climbed to the top of the ruins to look from a vantage point and we found a small group of boys from our trip also lost, we had a disagreement on which way to run so we quickly separated again and ran our own ways. We were given a task at the start of our journey through Ostia to find as many ancient toilets as we could, we found some cool ruins on our way round while on the hunt for ancient toilets such as a bathing complex and some old columns still standing, an epic rock like Pride rock from the lion king but the top find has to go to the mosaic of a man and a women performing a sexual activity from the rear.
The next day we went to Naples and Pompeii, the Naples museum was amazing the statues were incredible and had been preserved so well! the statue of Hercules was the key piece of them all for me, but Naples itself was disgusting, the smell of the garbage was terrible, there was rubbish everywhere you looked and almost everyone we saw was smoking, Pompeii however was a different story entirely it was great, the air was fresh and sun was high in the sky, everything was looking to make for a great day, and i was excited for exploring the place we had done so many translations about back in 3rd form latin. After looking around and seeing the theatres and the rest of the city all in such good shape, we went to enjoy the ancient brothel and enjoy we did.
