"Pompeii ‘fast food’ bar unearthed in ancient city after 2,000 years"

I've never been but would love to see it with my own eyes one day...

Thanks for posting the link Lee. I went to Pompeii with my wife many years ago and spent the whole day from opening to closing wandering about. It is a fascinating place to visit along with Herculanium. We stayed in Sorrento and it is only a short trip by train to Pompeii with the train station right at the entrance. Hope you make it one day.

Now worries gj, I am pleased that you enjoyed it... Lucky man you've been and even got to spend the whole day there, that must of been some walkabout! Seems like you've done my itinerary for me so I just need to get a wriggle on and get there... I think Autumn/Winter is probably best for me as when I went to the lakes in the summer it was way to hot for me... I would of been a rubbish slave in the Roman empire, to hot I belong in the North where it's much cooler...

We went in July Lee and even went up Vesuvius in 90+ degrees. It was a bit on the toasty side!!!!!

I bet.. I would of needed many beer stops...
