Monday - Herculaneum

Today we went to Herculaneum.  It's more intact than Pompeii as it was covered in lava rather than falling ash.

We took the graffiti train again to get there.  It was, in some ways, much more impressive than Pompeii, due to the amount of artwork and stuff like the wooden supports which have survived.




Guess that some sort of stock check is happening here - perhaps he can't see over his stomach!

To think these were all individual people leading their own individually complicated lives and oblivious as to what was to befall them out of the blue




Is this another dodgy depiction? The man towards the right seems to be brandishing his weapon


Not sure what this can be.  Can't think it's a bar stool!











What beautiful lettering!  Guess they used a laser cutter!





Oh no, not again.  Roman men certainly don't seem to have been very circumspect when it came to exposing themselves



We ended again in the purple restaurant, which supplies blankets if it's a bit chillier as the majority of the seating is outside.





The wine in Italy does seem to be very white!


Is that "Goat's Eye Ice Cream" on the left?
