We spent the day in the Pompeii ruins until around 3pm and then left for the long drive to Rome’s Fiumicino airport. In the town adjacent to the airport, the lovely Letterario B&B was convenient for an early flight and we had a great dinner at near-by La Locanda restaurant.
Pompeii was amazing, intriguing and vast. You really got the feeling of a snap-shot view of early Roman history, with the crowds of visitors adding to the sense of a bustling and prosperous community.
