Vesuvius & Pompeii

Early start to get our favourite hottest train on the planet! We are all very tired so trying to pull together can be tough sometimes but we did it! It was cool enough walking up to the Vesuvius Grand Cone but as we arrived into Pompeii it had really started to heat up. 

We did our best and tried to see what we had wanted. Amazing experience.

Got delayed on our furnace-train on the way back. It's sad to see such under-investment in such an major piece of infrastructure. The Circumvesuviana Line looks and runs like it has been totally forgotten about.

This evening we took to the pool, followed by some food and now bed! Wrecked.
