Travel to Rome photography and fun part II

In the way to the hotel as the tour guide was telling us about the city of Rome and other details of the tour, also to be aware of our belongings, the pick pockets, and other few street scams going on a big city like Rome. I saw once more signs of decay of this big and old city, cars parked on the side walk, even at the median of the street, an amount of scooters forming clusters and clusters in every spot possible, also every where I turned to, the street walls were covered with graffiti.

Gina our tour guide began to tell us the routine for the next day, wake up call will be at 6:00 am, then breakfast at 7:00 am. Immediately after will depart to Pompeii to the south of Rome, on a three-hour trip. Once in Pompeii we had a lunch at a local restaurant a typical pizza lunch, then we went to the Pompeii site, an ancient city destroyed by a violent eruption of the volcano Vesuvious in 79 AD, the city was buried with ashes up to twelve feet, killing all inhabitants caught by surprise. Excavations revealed the lost city surrounded by high walls, protecting it from invasions, the main entrance is lead by a ramp, most of the city was constructed with stone, streets, sidewalks, houses, temples, and also beds. The city was well organized in a very efficient layout. Some houses had two levels; the city also shows several courtyards, sauna house, wineries, bakery stores, and prostitution houses. The walls were painted on the outside, as well inside with different scenes of the daily life to include the ceilings, which were made of wood and timber, few remain standing. Also were found body castings beneath the ashes frozen on time, as they were before they sudden end. The stone paved streets shows the markings of the wheeled chariots, that once roamed there.
