http://eatoniamarengoeurope2014.blogspot.com/2014/05/day-twelve-from-brindisi-to-pompeii-and.html
Eatonia Marengo Europe 2014. Thursday, May 1, 2014. Day Twelve: From Brindisi to Pompeii and Rome. There was a one hour time change between Greece and Italy. Of course, add to that the fact that Italian trains, buses etc is notorious for being late, it was no surprise that what should have been an 8:00 AM disembarking from the ferry became more like 10:00 AM. Not a good start to a long day of driving! Going into the ruins. In the forum with the Temple of Jupiter behind the group. One of the many arches.
