Where in the world is Miss Baillie?

NEXT

Still in Italy, the next stop is down near Naples and Sorrento. Here Miss Baillie will be able to visit the ruins of Pompeii, a town that was destroyed by a volcanic eruption nearly two thousand years ago. It has been dug up by archaeologists, and you can walk around the ruins to see how people lived in those days.

Then she will head back up Italy again to Venice, the famous city on the water.

There aren't any roofs on the houses and shops in the streets of Pompeii, because they were destroyed. You can see the walls and the cobbled streets, and even the grooves in the stones worn away by the wheels of carts and carriages!

Venice is built on the water, and although it has some roads, most of the houses are on canals, and you get around by boat or by walking over bridges. If Miss Baillie is really lucky, she might be able to have a ride on a gondola! It costs a lot of money, though.
