Pompeii rocks!
This is a top pick! Somewhere I'd always wanted to go - Pompeii. A chance to nosy inside other people's houses. What did a Roman urban house feel like, oppressive with no windows, or spacious because of the hole in the roof? Where did the water go when it rained? Did it ...
Pompeii in the rain
Today, we left a little earlier than usual since we needed to beat the traffic coming into town for the Pope. We had a tour guide at Pompeii. It was a fascinating tour, even though it was raining outside. After a long tour, we went to ...

Pompei
... me later :) From there I finally managed to get in contact with Neill and we decided to meet in Southern Italy at Pompei. While I'm waiting for Neill I had my genuine Italian haircut. I decided to be brave and let him do whatever he ...
Volcano Ruins
We left Rome very early in order to catch a train to Pompei, a small town outside of Naples Italy. Pompei and a town nearby, known as Herculaneum, were both destroyed in 79 AD by a volcano. Pompei was buried under an estimated 20 metres of ash. In the ...
Volcanic Ruins of Pompei
Mount Vesuvius covered the city of Pompei and, years later, archaeologists discovered the ruins. Also some of the people and animals killed when the volcano erupted. Funny pic of Pete looking rather startled to find himself in a brothel ?? ...
A Vesuvian Adventure
As you might have guessed, today we went to Mount Vesuvius or to be more precise, the remains of an ancient roman city under Mount Vesuvius called Pompeii. Lets start at the beginning though. We woke, showered, had free breakfast here at the hostel and ...
Dormant but still dangerous - on top of Vesuvius
On top of Vesuvius! Well our ascent of Vesuvius turned out to be 90% bus ride and only the final ascent to the crater on foot. Also embarrassed to say that we met some more elderly ladies in less than ideal foot wear doing the walk, so it ...
il senato
... ceiling, probably the original wooden furniture, grand columns, and a gorgeous painted ceiling. That is one thing I love about Italy, the painted ceilings. Apparently the senate's agenda for today was the budget, but there was a motion to change ...
A travel day
... to our next station which was Chuisi. We changed trains again and onto Naples. Once again, changed trains and eventually arrived in Pompei. The lady at the motel recommended a lovely little restaurant so we had a nice meal and a fairly early night ready ...
The ghetto of Napoli and beautiful Pompei
... sorry I went on a little tangent. For a little background information for the kids who rode the short bus, Pompeii is a city in Italy which was covered and preserved in ash when Mt Vesuvius erupted in 79AD. Even though I had no idea what most of the ...
Pompei #2
... a good four hours or so exploring the ruins and I think that I took more photos than anywhere else in Italy! We are staying at Pompei (hotel!) again tonight and hopefully being Saturday night there will be a bit of nightlife again. Tomorrow we are ...
Ruined by Pompei
... I don't know if it is an offer he usually makes, though in 99 he also made the same offer. Riding in a car in Italy is always an experience and this was no less of one. The gentleman driving was whizzing through the streets. When a parked cars door ...
Trip to Southern Italy!
... swampy lands of Pasteum so thats where the smoked Bufala originated. We got back on the bus and traveled further south to Pompei...the home of Mt. Vesuvius (europes only active volcano). Pompei is one of the best preserved Roman towns, still looking ...
Simply Stunning
We took a 'quick" trip down to Pompeii and what an amazing day it was. We woke early and busted our hineys to get to the Metro to the main terminal train station. We caught a very nice train (super fast kind of thing) to Naples...only took an 1.5 hours ...

The Monday morning started off great. I went for a great run and Laura and I got lost kinda but it was fun. I then got ready for the day and went to class. before we went on our tours for art history, our teacher told us our grade and explained what we ...
Guests in the town of Pompei 79 AD
... over 40 minutes but it was a pleasant trip with Mt Vesuvius towering over us all along the way. We decided to walk around Pompei first to beat the heat; Mt Vesuvius was also on our agenda this day but because it is 4,203 ft above sea ...
Pompei, Vesuvius and Naples
... views of the bay of Naples. Today it was snowing up there so we couldn't see anything! We have really enjoyed Pompei itself though. It's quite fascinating wandering around the excavations and so educational for the kids. We spent a whole day wandering ...
Pompeii
As a day trip from Rome we managed to fit Pompeii. This little town on the southern coast suffered the wrath of Mt.Vesuvius. Frozen in time since 79AD it gives you a chance to walk through an ancient city of the Roman empire from 2000 years ago. some ...
Pompei is old
... by tall apartment buildings that are incredibly run down. The entire area is very poor, including the modern town of Pompei which surrounds the ancient city. There aren't very many things as old as Pompeii that are still preserved in pretty ...
