For my spring break I headed off for the mid-south of Italy to the city of Pompeii. Exploring an entire city of archaeological findings has always sounded awesome to me, and seeing the ruins of Pompeii and the surrounding areas gave me a greater understanding of what happened there 2000 years ago. I even made it to the summit of the active volcano Vesuvius and to a neighboring ancient ruined city, Herculaneum.
This was my first trip alone, which meant many firsts for me. The first time flying alone, the first time navigating a foreign city and staying at a hotel alone. With my solitude I felt I gained more patience to see the area, as I was on my own time. A couple things went wrong as expected, but this was an excellent learning experience for me in more ways than one.
I took a flight to Naples and worked my way down the coast to my hotel in Pompeii. For about 3.5 days I made it to the three locations I mentioned above. Needless to say I took a ton of pictures in that 3.5 day span, but I will try to cut them down into manageable chunks. So firstly, here is the album for what I did on Tuesday: Mount Vesuvius (Monte Vesuvio) and Herculaneum (Ercolano).
