<human>: I went on a cruise of the Mediterranean last summer on Norwegian Cruise Lines with my family (8 people total) and we visited Barcelona, Spain, Tulon, France, so many places in Italy I can't even count, two countries in Turkey (Ephasis and Istanbul maybe?) and Mikonos and Athens, Greece. Sorry if I spelled any of those incorrectly, 'Murica.  

So in Italy, one of the places we stopped at was Naples. We decided just to take 6 of us, my older brother, my mom, my dad, my aunt, my uncle and me to Pompeii while my grandparents hung out on the boat. 

We got there and decided not to invest money ($15 or 15 euros or something, relatively cheap.) in a tour guide through Pompeii. **WORST IDEA OF OUR LIFE**. 

We ended up getting extremely lost in Pompeii for 2 hours until we found an exit on the opposite end we needed to be. My mom was getting really hot and was worried she may go into heat stroke (She's a nurse so I figure she knew what she was talking about) and we had drank all of our water. It was around 100 degrees F, almost 38 degrees C. 

So here's some advice, if you're going to Pompeii or any place that you have a slight possibility of getting lost, invest in a tour guide. They'll give you information on a lot, your tour will probably be a whole lot more interesting and hopefully you will not get lost in Pompeii. 

I loved Pompeii though, so definitely go there. Worth the hot, stuffy train ride and the tourists. It's a sweet place.
