On to Rome

We went overland through Delphi and then caught an overnight ferry from Patra Greece to Barri Italy. The ferry was about 600 feet long and had 4 separate car decks! We only had deck passage (which was very cheap) but the ferry wasn´t very full and they let us sleep in the airline seats.

We had supposed we would take a morning train from Bari to Rome but it turned out we were to late for everything except the expensive fast trains. Ultimately we hung out a few hours and then caught a bus to Naples, from there we took a regional train to Sorrento to spend the night.

The next day we walked through the city of Pompeii. Pompeii is about 1st or 2nd century Rome and was covered completly in ashes by Vesuvious which killed everything but preserved the town itself.

The site at delphi is pretty spectacular, with cliffs behind it and overlooking a deep valley.
