The Ruins of Pompeii
We decided to go to Pompeii after a couple of kiwis told us about it and thought it was excellent. We took Loz (who we met at our hostel in Rome) along with us for a bit of fun. Pompeii is a ruined Roman city near modern Naples in the south of Italy. In 79 AD the volcano, Mount Vesuvius, erupted big time and destroyed the city of Pompeii. The …

...
