Day 13 - Napoli, Buffalo mozzarella and Monte Cassino



Jenna Mitchell
Today, at 8 am, we set off on our six hour long bus ride to Naples.
We saw some of the lovely countryside of Italy and the Monte Cassino Monastery. We also got to experience some buffalo mozzarella cheese at a cheese factory in Cassino.
Once we arrived in Naples our bus dropped us off at the Grand Hotel Europa and from there we made our way on foot to the Naples Archaeological Museum where we were greeted by our tour guide Nino. There we got to see the larger than life statue of Hercules and some ancient Pompeii frescos. The ancient history students really enjoyed getting to experience these artefacts up close and couldn’t stop taking photos of them.
