We hired a van, and all nine of us piled in like sardines. We arrived and the taxi driver said he would wait for us while we visited. I was impressed by Pompeii, and the modern idals of urban planning and symmetry. The masonry was unbelievable, and there are many magnificent artifacts and mosaics found. I imagine it was a most modern and beautiful place to have lived before 79 A.D. when Mt. Vesuvius erupted and covered it with ash, preserving it. I am excited to say I have indeed visited Pompeii.
The rain held out long enough for us to visit and photograph for a few hours. It began pouring again once we boarded the ship in the evening.
We had a late dinner on the ship, it was rainy again. I found a karaoke activity at night so we all headed up to the bar. I enjoyed a virgin mango and banana frozen concoction of some sort. I would be soaking in as much alcohol as humanly possible, however I was blessed with slight infections that required heavy doses of antibiotics. Nice. So just a few more days of them to heal, then real party time will occur. I opened karaoke night for everyone with "Alone" by Heart. I think it was well received, I mean I did have some cheering sections, so I ate it up, naturally. I did however land at the casino in some winnings from playing roulette where I demaned to play with the pink colored chips. I thank my previous place of employment for entertaining the holdiay parties with casino night. I do well with roulette, and won some cash.
