Pompeii was fantastic, I never realised how big it was. It is a full on city, all preserved really well. They had roman style fast food shops (sunken pots with marble slabs over the top where they served hot broths etc...). They also had a coliseum, amphitheatre, baths and a brothel!
They did know how to party looking at the wall paintings!
The best thing was the casts made of the people who died in the volcanic eruption of Vesuvius, the casts were so detailed that you could see the expressions on their faces.
Unfortunately as it was sooo hot (40 degrees) and it was getting late we decided not to climb the volcanoes which was a bit of a shame, but an excuse to come back to this beautiful part of the world!
In the evening we stayed around the hostel bar again. It was a really good night mingling with people from all over. A group of young Italian lads came up as well with the obvious plan to pull a forgien girl. This was very funny for me watching them, as a pack, talk to one girl at a time.
There favourite opening line was very similar to the Greek guy in the inbetweeners movie 'heya, I love you, you are the Only girl for me.' (Much funnier if you say it with a shit italian accent.
