A day at Pompei looking at the amazing ruins left by the eruption of Mt Vesicius in 79 AD. The hot ash and lava flow took 0.5 seconds, travelling at 80km/h, to reach Pompei leaving no chance of escape and preserving the town and its inhabitants.
after lunch in McDonalds, air con!, we booked a trip up Mt Vesuvius a taxi collected us from town and drove up a steep and winding mountain to about 1 km from the top. We walked the last bit, it was really, really steep and the road was slippery from all the dust and volcanic Peebles and scree. The views from the top were stunning.
Dinner in Pompei.
