affordable here in vco I'll show you

play19:14

guys the highlights now I'm in heaven

play19:18

the octopus was amazing it was the best

play19:20

octopus I've ever had it's rare that you

play19:22

would find a seafood restaurant with

play19:25

such a variety and every one of them

play19:30

Mar and they're affable so so we had all

play19:33

that delicious fresh seafood for only 88

play19:36

Heros and we had 2 L of wine with it as

play19:39

well needless say it was a very fun

play19:42

night couple things I love about staying

play19:44

here in Vico not only the location so

play19:46

we're on the north side of the peninsula

play19:48

so it's very easy to access auli and

play19:50

postano which we already showed you guys

play19:52

you can also take a train all the way to

play19:54

Naples in the airport and we're heading

play19:56

to Pompei today to see the ruins we only

play19:58

like a half an hour ride and it cost a

play19:59

couple

play20:05

Euros beautiful smile you guys thank

play20:16

you so we just DED the ruins we're here

play20:19

on a Sunday and I guess the tickets are

play20:21

free today which is nice usually it's 20

play20:23

per person it's going to be a lot more

play20:24

busy so pick and choose if you want to

play20:26

deal with the crowds or not but can't

play20:28

beat

play20:29

[Music]

play20:30

free we're about to start our Rick Ste

play20:33

walking tour it's an audio tour download

play20:35

the app on your phone it is free Pompei

play20:38

stopped in its tracks by the eruption of

play20:39

Mount Vesuvius in 79 ad Pompei offers

play20:43

the best look anywhere at what life in

play20:45

Rome must have been like 2,000 years ago

play20:48

an entire city of well-preserved ancient

play20:50

ruins is yours to explore

play20:53

[Music]

play20:57

79

play20:59

[Music]

play21:21

there's a few people here today Mom what

play21:22

do you think so far I thought it was

play21:24

going to be a lot more spread out and

play21:25

it's amazing that the whole city

play21:28

intacted and you see every part of it I

play21:30

thought there'd be a few ruins here and

play21:32

there so I'm amazed at the complexity of

play21:35

it

play21:39

all

play21:41

[Music]

play21:57

water

play22:00

[Music]

play22:04

okay we just finished what you guys

play22:05

think I it was pretty amazing we saw

play22:07

Fresco that were over 2,000 years old

play22:11

and they were beautiful so I guess my

play22:13

only tip would be is to get here plenty

play22:15

early because it gets really warm the

play22:18

site itself is pretty incredible I mean

play22:22

I've never seen any ruins that are this

play22:25

massive before and preserved this well

play22:28

and to give you an authentic look of

play22:31

what um Roman and Greek life was

play22:34

actually like cool thing is is we got in

play22:37

there free we saved $20 ahead 20 ahead

play22:41

20 right that's another expensive

play22:43

seafood dinner baby no kidding so hey

play22:46

that's a bonus that's a bonus if you're

play22:48

going for a budget yeah there's a lot of

play22:50

ways to spend your money there's very

play22:52

few to save

play22:55

it so I asked the bartender if this busy

play22:58

and he says no I asked him if every

play23:00

Sunday's free he said no it's not very

play23:03

often that the ruin to get an entrance

play23:05

the ruin is free so it's especially

play23:07

hectic today we keep hitting all the

play23:09

spots when they're the craziest don't we

play23:11

but

play23:12

free can't be free so we are starving

play23:15

after visiting those ruins and it's time
