A climb to 4000 feet
... held device and a map with the numbers and names of several of the structures. All I can say is LEAVE ENOUGH TIME FOR THIS PLACE! It's fascinating because you are literally dropped into a town that was ruined by a rainstorm of acid ash and buried in a matter of hours. The eruption in 79AD killed just about everyone and they have even been able to make molds out of the body cavities found during excavation….spooky. We picked ...
