Pompeii





























Naples - 23.05.2007 after staying one night somewhere around San Marino, we drove to Pompeii about 250 kilometers driving to cross- over to the western coast of Italy. In the camping we met a nice German couple who told us about Pompeii, they say it's a must see place in Italy, and they are right. Pompeii is really an interesting place to visit.

Pompeii - or Pompei was buried when the volcano "Vesuvio" errupted in 79 A.D. This volcano is they say the most active and the most dangerous volcano in Europe. You can see on the photos the ancient Amphitheater, the bakery, house of the small fountain, the ancient road, and some victims of the Vesuvio erruption. It is amazing and fascinating to see all these from 2000 years.
