Yummy gelato.Today Uncle Antonio organised a bus for all the family to take us to Pompeii.  The bus arrived at 7am and we were in Pompeii by 8.30am.  First thing we did was to go and have a drink and the best slice of pizza ever.  Naples is where pizza was first made and it is still known as the best pizza in Italy.   I think I would agree!  A guide was organised to take  us through the ruins of the city of Pompeii which was completely buried by a volcano thousands of years ago.  The guide could speak Italian and English which was great.  After Pompeii we had a 5 course lunch is a beautiful restaurant.  The bus then took us for a drive to Sorrento and we had time for a bit of shopping at the markets.  Oliver found motorbike which he just had to buy!  We all had a fantastic gelato – Oliver had watermelon and magnam, Alix had bounty and marshmellow and I had Watermelon and creme brulee.  There were about 50 flavours to choose from and it was not an easy choice.  The watermelon was fantastic.  We then looked through a magnificent church and at last made our way home.  We got back home at 8pm and then had dinner at 9pm.  We were all very exhausted but had a great day.
