From Assisi, we drove to Pompeii. We ate lunch at a restaurant that Igor recommended whose service was absolutely horrible. It was 10 Euros for a pizza, drink, and gelato. On the way out of Pompeii, I noticed a place that had the same for 6, and whose service had to have been better.
At Pompeii, we spend about 2 hours on a tour of the ruins. We saw the Temple of Apollo, the Forum, casts of bodies, a bathhouse, a bakery, a brothel, and a market.
According to our itinerary, we were supposed to stay in Sorrento. But because all the hotels were evidently full, we instead stayed in Naples at the Jolly Hotel Naples. Because of this change, we got a free dinner at the hotel (originally, the dinner was supposed to be an optional excursion). It consisted of some pasta, beef and roasted vegetables, and baba. Baba is a apricot rum sponge cake. The liquid in the sponge cake isn't apparent while it's sitting on your plate, but once it's in your mouth it is readily apparent.
