Mount Vesuvius


Mount Vesuvius, with Pompeii in the forground

I don't have a lot of pictures from Naples. I'll just say I don't need to visit the place again. Pompeii, however, is different. the modern town built around Pompeii is quite pleasant. I'd stay there instead of Naples.

While Ostia Antica is more impressive in ambiance, Pompeii is nevertheless a required stop in a trip to Italy. While the place is crowded with tourists, and some areas roped off, the preservation of the ruins needs to be seen to be believed.
