Day 4: Naples – Pompeii
This morning, we headed for Roma Termini train station to board our high speed train (top speed which we reached was 300kmph) and we reached Naples in a few hours.

After our hotel check-in, we boarded the local train Circumvenezia, to Pompeii, which was buried under almost 20 feet of volcanic ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. Pompeii has been declared a UNESCO world heritage site and has 2.5 million visitors every year. One can easily spend hours exploring the village which was surprisingly well preserved and restored.

When we returned to the train station, we realised that the train staff had gone on a surprise strike. Apparently, this is a regular occurrence in Italy. After a long wait, we managed to take a bus back to our hotel.
