Pompeii

Im so glad we got to go to Pompeii. We where so close to not going, but we went in the end. Its so amazing how a city can still be half standing after it was covered by lava. The town was quiet big, Im guessing it could have been around 20,000 people. But no one knows for sure. It had everything a town back then could need. Houses, bakeries, surgeries, spas, amphitheatres, temple, parks, markets, holiday homes for the rich and so many other things. I liked their pedestrian crossings, they are different to todays, but not by much. Everything was ruins, but u could nearly make out what the buildings could have been. The strangest thing to see was dead bodies that have been discovered, that was very cool but strange to see. Pompeii was origanally 66 hectares, but only 45 hectares has be discovered and restored. So there is still more to be discovered. It was a fun and interesting day at Pompeii!!
