Europe journal 17-Pompeii: solidification time here

August 24, fine to Pompeii

Go to Pompeii train time is 5: 50 am.

Fear of being delayed, 4: 30 in the morning to get up. Dry food and water are then prepared last night. 5 to 10 minutes to get to the uncle Ronny subway station, but only to subway mouth closed the door tightly closed! day haven't lit, the streets are very few, we saw a passerby, ask the station open time, said to 5 point half-open the door.

This allows us to urgent! looking for taxi, taxi point is no one, no car.

Want to find the bus, and don't know the bus back to the site, the daughter of this may really urgent, not the usual kind if early, must make didn't wake up lazy and fanciful-like, to the East, running to the West of the car. Watch her thin and slender figure in dark streets helpless running around, I feel, comfort her, saying, it's not that late? sit late train line! daughter said that late train to Pompeii is late! but today we have to rush back to Rome, not tomorrow's aircraft back to Lyon? heard this, I said to myself, who let you arrange the final day to Pompeii! but not much blame her.

5: 30, Metro has finally opened the door, the fastest speed walking down the steps, and with the fastest speed in automatic ticket machines, buys a ticket, rushed to the Metro platform--quiet no car! original, subway's first bus 5 until half past from starting out to 10 minutes to get to here.

Watch the time every minute of the past, when we managed to get on Metro, with a speed of 100 m Sprint, panting, arrived at the train station, the train to Pompeii early vanishing.

Had to look for a later departure. See the screen display has a 6 point 20 separate to Naples, hastened to go on the platform. Found, after he discovered bustle settles, we have no ticket.

As usual, the train is empty.

Six personal balcony to sit in our shady and a tall black man. The black horizontal seat full sleep for two hours, come to Naples, only to wake up. I let my daughter asked him whether to Naples, and the man said, "the wave of Li? is. "What is the daughter of strange," the wave "Lee? now conveys the original, Italian and English translation.

To Naples (one way) and had a point of trouble.

Displayed on the screen to the train stop in Pompeii "1pg" platform. Looking to find out. I also made my daughter go to ask people. The original "1pg" is the Metro platform. Up and down to go two round-trip, subway ticket window asked the conductor, finally found. See our suppos ran off, train drivers chivvying we said: "Pompeii"? I would say: "Pompeii!"

Only sat train! time is 9: 30 pm.

So, to Pompeii that daughter shidianduo?, strange train schedule, obviously if Miss the 5 point 50 minutes by train to Pompeii is a little more in the afternoon. Is not 5: 50 and 6: 20 minutes, there is a train? anyway think European train quite interesting.

The train will only start a, heading for dark Metro, back to the blue sky and white clouds.

Naples is a hill surrounded by port city. Harbor full cargo vessels of all sizes and all kinds of yachts. In the railway line that can be seen in the city, is a modern high-rise buildings. Naples is also a long history of the ancient city, but unfortunately we hurry, and Milan, white pass.

Forty minutes later, the train to Pompeii.

Accidents, get off in Pompeii and the passengers. Even we couldn't find a going! in my imagination, a world famous tourist attractions, visitors will be overwhelming. Just like our domestic just slightly famous attractions off the car, there's the arrival of the taxi driver or hotel staff make you surrounded. However, there is no. See the door there is a taxi stop and ask, how far is the ancient city of Pompeii? driver said, 2 km. Only 2 km walk that, right?. Not how to go to the driver about the (in my experience), found a passerby asked how to walk, turn left and then sue said, straight on, turn left again to see a church.

According to the passer's point, no one will go up.

Estimate only 1 km away. Far away to see the flattened cone-shaped mountain, I conclude that, at a glance that must be Vesuvius!

According to the materials, the ancient city of Pompeii 10 km distance from Vesuvius, built in the sixth century b.c., 600 years later the a.d. 79 years, Vesuvius erupted, huge volcanic lava and volcanic ash, from then on, the city from the tops.

And after a thousand years, the year 1748, a local farmer in shaping their own vineyard, because deep digging a trench, accidentally dig into a tank near the melting of gold and silver jewelry. Since then, the ancient city of Pompeii from the emerging in people's eyes. After 200 years of consolidation, now rendered before our eyes is the ancient city of one-third of their original size.

After you enter the site to buy tickets. Turn left along the tour trail, along the way, have abandoned house sites appeared. Through a high door, even into the city. The ancient city's roads are paved with large stones, with a deep rut. Street view on the housing from the shapes are shops. There are also rich in the courtyard. Constructed mostly of volcanic stone, can see the volcanic stone-specific pores. Some housing of the living room and walls also have various patterns of paving mosaics.

Information, 89 years b.c. Pompeii from the Roman occupation, but become the Roman territory.

Because of its proximity to the Vesuvius and the Eastern Mediterranean, climate comfort, rich, gradually become a paradise for the rich Empire. People here built villa, purchased the Manor, fun. From the ruins of many bars in the bathroom, comfortable Garden, a large open-air arena and tall temple as well as the ruins of exquisite murals in the residues, volcanic devour before Pompeii, is a land of rich and sweet.p>

We walk through the streets of the ancient city of Warren, more and more miracles before us.

We found that the city although the built in 2600 years ago, but for the drainage system is complete. The housing of the wall you can see the modern sense of the downpipes, street below the House 30 centimeters, every paragraph is one highlight of the piers, estimate when it rains or the mountains have flood down, the Street becomes the watercourses of flood, and piers is to allow people to safety across the bridge. While in some of the crossroads, there are water faucet and sink. These mixer, now is the Tourism Management Department of the ingenious use of a modern, covered with water pipes, water cannot be for visitors.

The most impressive ruins of the temple is in the vicinity of a showroom, we see it as a real person like size of ancient Pompeii residents of plaster.

They now before us it is: some people both support the forehead, fours, some of them hide his face squatted on the ground, it was also down, back, hands-hungry …. It is said that the history of the plaster is to explore the ruins, an engineer turned up some empty volcanic rocks, discovered the strange shapes, so use modern casting technology, keep it close, into gypsum water, condensation, has come out so some people shape! in the face of these plaster, scientific explanation is that when the volcanic ash promptly after the human body wrap, high temperature and suffocation death makes people quickly, so those who were too late to react before the death struggle of the dead, and then they slowly melts until a hole!

Through the Millennium of temporal and spatial changes, entered the remains shade sky courtyard, everything was so quiet.

From the open gate can be seen in the Eastern Mediterranean after the endless blue of the sea, and look ahead, Vesuvius is gentle looking at the silence of the ancient city. We are in a courtyard in the rest of the promenade, trance, yard master at any time from one room to come out, and we greet ...

"Enjoy living well, tomorrow is the elusive" Pompeii city unearthed a chalice on such a Word.

Pompeii people enjoy life, but also the creation of life. Over a thousand years have passed, in Pompeii ruins of Pompeii, a new block has been built. Today's Pompeii, so busy. We in the church square in front of the coffee shop each person a glass like "wall mud" in paste coffee, plus a glass of chilled mineral water, coffee tastes like a xiaoshao a xiaoshao slowly, then with chilled mineral water, daughter says, this is very typical of Italy.
