Day 3

Monday – November 1st

After a visit to the excavations in Pompei we realize and understand better how the Romans used to live in those days. We stand on Flegrean soil, so close to Vesuvius and this has definitely left its effects on the whole surrounding area. A great tourist attraction indeed!!!!!
