October 4th
Today we had a driver to take us to Pompeii, leaving Amalfi at 8.00am with Giovanni we took the windy road to Pompeii, stopping for photo pics of the Napoli valley with Mt. Vesusius in the background, a beautiful day again and great views. It took us 1 hour to get there and we had our tour guide waiting, Giuseppe was first to get our tickets and first to be in the grounds of the historic town of Pompeii. What an amazing place to see and Giuseppe was a great guide, so funny and passionate about the history of his region and the remains of this once rich town of Pompeii. We had a 2 1/4 hour tour with Giuseppe and then we were on our way with our driver, Giovanni to Mt. Vesuvius where we climbed a fair way to the top of the crater, was a steep climb but worth the effort and pleased we did, we then went to a a winery for lunch and wine tastings. Cantina Del Vesuvio winery nestled at the base of Vesusius and making red, sparkling rose and white wines all made and sold only from their winery. Of course we had the usual prosuito, tomatoes, bread, olive oil and wine vinegar and spaghetti with special cake to finish. Great food in this Country.
The driver had us back by 4pm and a good day had by all.
