today began early, we were planning to catch the 12.30 train to rome,and wanted to get to the archealogical museum in naples before we left.
The bus was ridiculous, stuck in peak hour traffic it was pointless so it was quicker to walk.
The museum is huge and contains alot of pottery, statues and other artefacts found in naples. It also contains alot of the paintings and artefacts found at pompeii. it also has the "secret cabinet" that has only jut been reopened to the public in 2000 due to the nature of the display.....it is pretty much the collection of erotic art found largely at pompeii. Some was tame, others not so much. There are massive stone penises, figures with oversized penises and anything else you can think of with penises..lamps,pottery, wall hangings. There was much giggling in this part of the museum..apparently all the penises are suppose to bring good luck? who knows, we should be extremely lucky after seeing all those penises!
Was ready to catch the train at 12.30, onl to find it was delayed for an hour. Finally arrived in rome, 2 hours late, we nearly lost our booking at the hostel.Apparently its not unusual for the trains to be running that late? we having booked a walking tour tomorrow for the colloseum, trevi fountain, parthenon etc. Prob thurs will do vatican city. The hostel is nice and close to everything, especially the cheap internet so i will try to fill in the blog!
brenton-when you loaded the photos from camera to computer, they dont come up again on the camera view.did that happen to you?it just worries me a little thats why i havnt loaded any more photos onto computer, that and one of the computers put a virus on my usb and deleted everthing...aarrggghh.
