Vesuvius

















After we exited Pompeii we decided to head up to Vesuvius. Although it was more expensive we ended up hiring a driver to take us up to the top and were VERY glad we did in the end. It was nice to not have to wait on a group and also needed to be taken back down to a different train station to get back to Salerno. It was about a 20 minute drive each way up to the Vesuvius site. Once there we hiked at a pretty quick pace and were at the top in 15 minutes. We then spent some time enjoying the view of Naples and checking out the crater. We then took some pictures and leisurely strolled back down to our cab.
