The Dead Ruins ~ 30th March

On the weather forecast it said it was a very showery day. But it wasn't actually that showery and we went up the dangerestest volcano in the WORLD!!! Vaicono Vader (Jude's name for Vesuvius). So we drove up the curly spinny bit and it was very soggy. We did not like the weather and we came up at the top and then you don't wanna know then. Oh yes you do!! Nooo. Err Yeah. After the Vaicono we went to Herculaneum. It was the dead ruins of doom. It looked very fun to play in like for hide and seek. It was in a big hole. The weather was very sunny and very nice now. The Roman houses are different to my house because they had little rooms and one big room in the middle. They had gardens in the middle of their houses too with little ponds. The houses were made of stone and the had house numbers which looked newer than they should of looked from the eruption. All the houses were in one big row and they had a normal sized pavement but the road was smaller than these days ones. And in middle sized rooms there was dead skeletons in each room next to each other in one little row they looked freaky and dead. They looked like they were risen from the dead mostly just sitting there doing nothing. Herculaneum was a very fine town and it looked quite nice to live there.
