Today we had to rise up early to leave Rome for the airport, where we rented a car and headed to Mount Vesuvius. After hiking to the top of Vesuvius (pic 1) we then headed to Pompeii (pic 2). Both very cool to see, although Pompeii has to take the prize since it's an entire ancient city uncovered from the volcanic ash. You really get a great sense of ancient Italian (or Roman) life. It was a very long day and we're beat, so a short post tonight. We're now in Sorrento at a beautiful hotel with a great view of the Mediterranean Sea and Mount Vesuvius across the Bay of Naples from high up the side of a mountain. We made it here just in time for dinner, which ended up being wonderful! Life is bene (good).
Now time for sleep. Buonanotte.
