On the second day we did a tour of the eruption of Vesuvius - the ruins of Herculaneum, the rim of Mt. Vesuvius, and the ruins of Pompeii. We took the train out of the central train station out to the city of Ercolano, which set up shop right next to the ruins of the old city. The ruins are only partially excavated, and the buildings are known usually as "House of ___" naming some detail within the building given how there is nothing to go by. |
