5C Climbs Vesuvius!

Hi all!
Well we made it! After a long journey from Rome we finally climbed the Ancient Mt Vesuvius. Unfortunately the weather was TERRIBLE!! We could hardly see 1 metre in front of us! Not many of our photos were good for the internet unfortunately, because there was just too much fog and mist! However, after about 30minutes the skies cleared and we had a fantastic view of the crater, the bay of Naples and Napoli! We were very lucky! Here is one of the good photos we managed to get. Tomorrow we are hoping for more good weather as we head to Pompeii.

5L Climbs Mt. Vesuvius

On Wednesday, March 25th, we climbed to the top of Mt. Vesuvius.

We ate lunch before starting on the hike.

Our guide shared a lot of information about Mt. Vesuvius.

We were joined by a second guide

as we left the tourist trail and began

a hike around the rim to the other side.

We had an opportunity to descend into the crater.

Mt. Vesuvius was freezing. I have to admit it was a little sc ary walking around the crater. (IM)

When we went hiking my legs got really tire. I learned more about Mt. Vesuvius and how they can tell if it will erupt. (HLP)

I had fun hiking even though some parts were tiring and difficult. It was fun with the guidfes who were very friendly and nice. (LC)
