Pompeii

Our run the next morning. See the fishermen?

Originally we had hoped to spend a couple hours of the morning hiking Vesuvius before heading off to Pompeii. However, we quickly realized how big Pompeii was and decided to skip Vesuvius and give the ruins our undivided attention.

On the way to the train station we were intercepted by the daily fish market.
The very clunky train to Pompeii, only about 35min away.

Attenzione!
"Beware of Dog" mosaic
Baths
Bakery (recognize the original pizza oven?)
Someone's house
Lead piping (it looks like tree roots)
Welcome mosaic
Big Theater
Little Theater
A larger snack bar
Yes, this is what you think it is
Vesuvius forms the backdrop to the Forum
The clunky train back into town
Dessert! A rum-soaked baba
