Okay. Second last stop on the trip (which actually ended about a month ago now, but let's ignore that): Pompeii, and its sister resort seaside town, Herculaneum.

We actually enjoyed Herculaneum more than the famous Pompeii, though that was probably due to its much smaller size. Pompeii is massive, a large city (for the time) that's almost impossible for a visitor to explore in a day. We did Herculaneum in the morning and left Pompeii for the second half of the day. We were only able to stay a few hours; if we had stayed any longer, we would have been locked in. We'll have to return another time to see sights like the stadium, the theater, and more.
