    Great to grace the background of the must-have photo from the archaeological site in downtown…read morePompei. For me though, unless it was a critical high point, ascending around an active caldera (see: potentially dangerous, partially collapsed, smoldering ash heap), given its history, I'm like, "nah, I'm good." Across the ocean, Yellowstone is still active, massive and to be enjoyed. It is also less intimidating. As an alpinist and classically experienced summiteer, my aversion to hiking Vesuvio is easily explained. After the sad sight of the stone people down below -- the actual active volcano will never be a mandatory visit for me.

    The trek to Vesuvius from Naples involves subway, train, and bus. On the train I learned that the…read morecouple beside me were headed to Pompeii, where I'd already been, and I was headed to Vesuvius, where they'd already been. It was time to trade tips and here's the best tip they gave me: "When you exit the train station in Ercolano, walk to your left. That's where the bus tickets are sold. Immediately after you purchase your bus ticket, walk to the center island opposite the train station exit. Get in line there. That's where the bus boards. Oh, and the bus tickets are cash only, so be prepared". Had I not talked to these folks I'd not have known exactly where to go when I got out of the train station. As it turns out, my quick b-line to the left meant that I purchased the last two tickets available on the next bus up and the following bus wasn't leaving until more than one hour later. So follow these directions. You're welcome. The lore around Mt. Vesuvius figures big in these parts so if you're in the area and able, it's worth a visit regardless of how you feel about hiking somewhere only to peer down into a (not very interesting) crater. The route up, even with the bus taking you up most of the way, isn't difficult but it's more difficult than I assumed it would be. and takes about 40 minutes each way. A hiking stick will be helpful, especially on the way down. Do check your bus number and know the time of its departure before you get off for the hike. You'll have a sticker denoting that you've paid for your bus ride down, but it's specific to the bus you rode up in and it'd be a huge bummer for it to leave without you. On the hike up I encountered a massive insect swarm and thought "well this is disgusting" but it had disseminated by the time I headed back down. You'll hike through some souvenir/drink/snack spots and there's another at the very top. Other than that, there's nothing to do here except peer into the crater that caused the demise of Pompeii then head back down again. I'd say this is a must see only because of the significance of Vesuvius in Southern Italy's history. One and done for me but now you know how best to navigate the journey as well.

I asked about the cabin prices and they had no hand outs with information and I basically had to repeatedly ask them to write it down or I could until finally they caved and made me copy of the price list. There is also no swim apparel or swim gear any where on site. The pool is quite the debacle. They say to take your wrist bands and put them on your chairs as to mark your seat so people don't take up huge amounts of chairs for their groups only. We did this, went to change and came back to a whole Italian family taken our 4 chairs we saved. I asked them to please move to which they just stared at me and kept looking away. So finally I had to raise my voice and the mother I'm assuming came over and tried to play it off like it was ok because they didn't speak english. Absolutely not. I was persistent for a good 5 minutes and they finally moved. I could not believe how rude they were. We were following the rules and then we're made to feel like bullies purely because we wanted somewhere to sit. Language barrier does not excuse your balanant lack of respect for the rules. Felt very out of place in an area we were told we would be welcomed in. Being an American here is hard enough without people making us feel out of place constantly. We thought this would be a nice place to relax when in reality it just set a bad pace for the rest of our stay in the park. The Americans need to do more to ensure the Italians are respectful and follow the rules here...especially since it's the American government paying for it..
