Soooo Lauren and I have a new sympathy for Titanic passengers… Nay Titanic steerage passengers! Although the Ferry was a fun experience… let’s just say they don’t really give you more than a space to lay sideways to sleep. But we’ve really started to make some friends with our overall immature group and have settled into the European lifestyle… No, we have not stopped shaving. We arrived in Italy early in the morning and bussed into Pompeii for a tour with Sasha… Our Italian Pompeii tour guide. See photos. He was a blast. Pompeii was incredible. You can’t even imagine how perfectly preserved this town is. There’s still chariot wheel dents in the streets from frequent traffic. After the tour we stopped for a Pompeiian granita. The region grows the biggest, most delicious lemons you’ve ever seen and they break them down with ice and sugar in a lemon slushie style. Absolutely fantastic. After Pompeii, we bussed it to Rome and arrived around 11. Our hotel is sooo great! Lauren and I got to be in a room alone! And it’s the biggest room we’ve ever had!! We we’re pumped to say the least. We have arrived at our first BIDET as well here in Rome. Upon entering the bathroom we did a double take and approached with caution... To use or not to use? That is the question… We’ll just leave that answer up to the imagination. We’re exploring Rome tomorrow!
