The obvious social status apparent when we walked thru the houses Here you can see a bath room for the wealth Romans. Water was heated outside by servants and piped into these rather large baths. Considering the weight I've put on these holidays this would be perfect for me. Hahaha! You can see how the road were designed for the chariots and every so often there were stepping stones to get for one side of the road to the other without getting your feet wet, however these stepping stones were spaced to allow the chariots to get through. And of course you must always have the smiling tourist photo. Hehehe!

Hi Garry & Bridget
Greek Islands look very exciting it is one place I would like to visit in my lifetime. Here's hoping I win lotto and I may just get there!
It is great reading your blogs and I am so glad you two are having a great time.
At home with yet another bung eye so thought I would catch up with your travels.
Can't wait til you go to Vietnam, really want to hear what you think of the place?
Well everything is going blury again so will sign off.
Safe travels and enjoy the last few weeks of your holiday.
Looking forward to your return.
Julie
