Pompei is immense. Its a whole city and covers 55 hectares. They have done an incredible job of digging out the city and you can walk pretty much everywhere.
Herculaneum is much smaller but extremely well preserved. Many of the buildings are almost entirely intact and the wall paintings still remain. Incredible to see how life was 2000 years ago.
Tonight we're back at the coast near Sorrento and tomorrow we're going to leave the Med and cross Italy to the Adriatic. Nothing particular there, we just want to see another part of Italy.
Naples has been "interesting". The city is run down and dirty with bags of litter strewn everywhere. There are mangy stray dogs all over. It's really not a great place.
And I'm not even going to mention the Napolese driving...
