Natale!
... just want back down to the town instead. Rebecca and I had amazing gelato for lunch (of course I had to try the lemon because that's what the area is famous for) and sat out on the pier and ate it. The wind had picked up a bit so after a bit more wandering around we went back to the hotel to enjoy some siesta time! Just before sunset we went out to the big pier with a bottle of wine and watched the amazing sunset. It was almost a new moon which made it just that ...

We were given seats diagonally opposite from each other, and the train is pretty plush. However, in one of the seats in our ...
A Vesuvian Adventure
... and I wandered up towards the second body site, and after a bit of searching found a garden that contained the remains of about 12 different people. There were some adults and some children but all of them were crawled up, obviously trying to escape from the dust and ash. The garden had an amazing view of the mountain, so you could just imagine what these people would have seen looking up at it during the eruption. We stood and reflected for a little bit before moving ...
