This is taken from the deck of the boat whilst it was docked in Naples. Naples castle is behind Libby.

Near the entrance to Pompei, this place is huge, we only saw a corner of it, the kids couldn't possibly have managed it all, I thought it was a town but it was the size of a city.

It's difficult to give the correct perspective, Libby is always handy at posing so you can get some idea how big the place is

Libby was mesmerised by the casts of dead people. When we got back to the boat that's all she would draw for days. Children love the macabre.
I didn't realise that Pompei had been destroyed about ten years earlier by an earthquake and the residents were in the process of rebuilding. 20,000 got away from the earthquake but 2,000 died. First the ash rained down on them and they climbed on top of their dwellings, then their was a heat flash that burned them alive. All the models we saw, the faces were frozen in horror or are being covered by their hands to relieve them of the choking ash.
