Mount Vesuvius

Filed under: Travel — Tags: — BigWeather @ 11:59 am

We got up really early (before 6am) to catch our bus to Sorrento. On the way to Sorrento we stopped by Mt. Vesuvius. The volcano is currently in a period of inactivity. It has to separate slopes the new and the old. The climb up and down the slope was very steep but the pay off is worth it.

After dinner at a really good pizza place we went to a limoncello factory and shop. I learned that I am not a fan of limoncello. It is super bitter and sour. They did have good cookies and balsamic vinegar.
