We had an early start this morning (7:30am) in order to beat the crowds to the Amalfi Coast. With four cruise ships in port, I think our guide made the right decision. First stop was Ravello.

Next town was Amalfi - a very busy and very popular town.

Positano was next - my favorite! Would love to spend some time here with no tourists. It's so crowded and so many steps. Surprise! We had pizza for lunch.

Mt. Vesuvius on the way to Pompeii

Pompeii was an ancient city located near Naples. Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area was buried under 13 to 20 ft) of volcanic ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. Largely preserved under the ash, the excavated city offers a unique snapshot of Roman life, frozen at the moment it was buried.
