1142. Sunshine and Holiday Cheer (Italy 119)
... what will they be doing 10 years from now? I suppose the Chinese woman will have here own shop by then. The African guy, may or may not have worked his way up—perhaps, if he’s clever and frugal, he’ll have built himself a little house down in Senegal… or maybe not. And the Roma woman? Still begging, perhaps? How is this possibly going to lead to a better life for her, her children, and her people? ...
1140. A Disaster in the Making (Italy 117)
... almost a “city” feel to it with a bustling main avenue, and it also has the cramped old city feel in its alleyways that lead up to a domed cathedral. Yes, definitely more than just a “Napoli Suburb” here.
As a matter of fact, Torre also has some impressive ruins of its own: a beautiful Roman estate destroyed by the volcano. But I figure I’ll save my ruins exploring for when I get to Pompeii, which is right down the road. ...

Day 060: 5 hours, 12.3 kms, Day: 38.5 kms

First comes the path down the outside of the mountain with a ...
1138. Reach Vesuvius—or Perish in the Undert
Day 060: 5 hours, 15. kms
I did sort of look at the map before starting this hike to see if there are any roads that take me up the mountain, and it does seem that there's a road that will take me right close to the peak. The question is, how important is it to try to reach the peak of Vesuvius? Part of me just wants to continue on down the road and settle for a nice view of the the peak as I pass—focusing more on adding ...
Formula 1 driving on the Amalfi Coast
... sometimes all at the same time!! Today was truly an experience we will never forget in a hurry.
Pompeii was our next excursion. Pompeii was a town of possibly 27,000 people that in 79
AD was covered in ash from an enormous explosion from Mt. Vesuvius!! The ash rained down on the city to 6 and 7 metres in depth. Very few survivors! The ash remained covering this city with very little disturbance until the 1800's. Archaeologists had the arduous task ...
