Ostia

Ostia is amazing! No other way to put it. Hadrian's Villa yesterday was
excellent, but Ostia gives you a feel for what a Roman city was like, as you
could freely roam about the ruins, and see all he remaining mosaics etc. It was
a later start, leaving at 9am to metro to the former Roman port, but the time
spent a Ostia was exceptional, well worth the wait, finding all the tunnels,
statues, toilets and the general layout of a Roman city. Afterwards, we saw St
Paul's without the walls (which actually DOES have walls), another amazing great
church, and after, while trying to find Ryan a camera, saw St Paul's within the
walls. Tomorrow is the much anticipated visit to Pompeii and Naples, which I am
eagerly waiting for...
