Pompeii

The ruins of Pompeii really have to be experienced to be believed.  I have been there, and would love to return.

Pompeii is only a short train ride from Rome, and is well worth a visit.  You can easily while away a whole day there too.

Photos and videos cannot do the site justice, but this short presentation may just serve to whet your appetite.

Pompeii is Hot and the Loos May Be Horrible

A word of warning though.  The site is huge and becomes very hot in mid-summer.  Take plenty of water, and stop frequently.  Wearing a hat is advisable too as shade is not always easy to come by.

A good guide book will help ensure that you don’t miss a thing either.

Finally, when I was there, a good few years ago around 2000, the toilet facilities were rather sub-standard.  Taking some toilet paper may not be such a bad idea.

Still, don’t miss Pompeii!  Visiting the site is something I am really happy to have done.  Indeed, it was the happy memories which prompted me to write something about this wonder of the world.
