Wednesday - Sunny Had a good sleep last night, must be the flats homie feel. However we may have had too good a sleep because we slept in and had no time for breakfast and had to rush to the ferry terminal. Luckily there were no lines at the ticket booth and we jumped straight onto the ferry. The ferry had a quick stop and Levanzo island before we hopped off on our island Favignana. We got to the island around midday and had a nice walk through the small but p...

Tuesday - Fine The waves must have been huge last night! For this big ship to be rocking and banging all night. I'm not so sure it's the best mode if transport after all. We Didn't get much sleep at all last night because of the surging. Up, down side to side all night! We had our breakfast on the boat, no coffee though. We will have to make a coffee shop stop high priority once off the boat. We had the morning in Palermo before we needed to catch a bus to T...

It arrived a bit late, an hour after we thought it would, but the driver must be running on southern Italian time. Never mind ...

Saturday - Fine I believe getting up before 5am is a crime, so we committed a crime this morning, and apart from feeling wrecked for most of the train trip, it was a nice journey. We changed trains at Naples centrale and Pompeii was only 3 stations down the track. The B&B was a 10min walk away from the station and an easy walk to the Pompeii site. After some lunch and a couple coffees we headed over to the site, and boy did we get lucky. Today was a free d...
