Pompeii

BY ONEIKA RAYMOND


One day towards the end of our stay in Italy, we hopped the Circumvesuviana train and headed out to the ruins of Pompeii and the Mount Vesuvius crater. The day was deadly hot and the sun beat down on us unforgivingly but it was well worth the trip!

After some confusion regarding which train station to get off at, we arrived in Pompeii and promptly got on a tour bus that would take us near the summit of Mount Vesuvius. On our way to catch the bus, though, I couldn’t resist taking a picture with a random Ferrari parked on one of the narrow side-streets of Pompeii town!


The bus dropped us off near the top of Vesuvius after an hour long ride out of the city center and high up the mountain. When we got dropped up, we then had to walk an additional 25-minutes to get to the crater. I didn’t find the crater particularly breathtaking (especially after hiking nearly half an hour in sweltering heat to get up there). But it was still gorgeous.




Liebling and I checked out the ancient city of Pompeii afterward. I initially wasn’t too keen on going as I thought it would be boring, but we spent a wonderful afternoon at the ruins.
