Mt. Vesuvius and Pompeii in Naples


Time zones are interesting things, aren’t they. While you guys were finishing up for the day, we were fast asleep. And while you guys were sleeping, we were hiking up a volcano. Go figure.

So we went to Pompeii and saw many ruins (it’s actually a huge site). Afterwards we went to Mt. Vesuvius itself and hiked the last 300m of height via a long path of switchbacks and steep climbs. It was pretty cloudy, though, so we couldn’t see Naples from up there. But we did see the two (yes, two) craters and peaks and now can say we stood on an active volcano.

Oh, and I tried to upload pictures but a Satellite connection pretty much sucks when it comes to bandwidth. I’ll see what I can do tomorrow.
