Day 12: Amalfi Coast Trip: Pompeii






This day started in POURING rain in Rome. However, as we drove south and closer to the coast, the clouds cleared up and it turned into a beautiful day. Our first stop of this day trip was to visit Pompeii. I had been in high school but like the Coliseum, I was more than excited to return. Pompeii was covered by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. Now, after many excavations, the preserved city stands as a testament to time. Our guide led us through this organized, strategically laid out city.
