Advantages: Utterly incredible views and atmosphere !! Disadvantages: Not suitable for the less fit
Thinking back, my ten day holiday in the Bay of Naples probably packed in more wonderful venues than any other holiday I have taken. I visited Pompeii, Capri, Herculaneum ,Sorrento, drove around the wonderful Amelfi Coast and I actually climbed to the top of.arguably, the most famous volcano in the world - Mount Vesuvius ( Monte Vesuvio) !!
All my life I had wanted to visit Pompeii but I never dreamt that one day I would climb to the crater from which the source of Pompeii's destruction came with such vengeance.
Situated just six miles east of Naples it is a short distance from the shore. The area around Vesuvius was officially declared a national park on 5 June 1995.
The thing that amazed me was just how volcano dominates the whole area -we could see it soon after leaving the airport on our way to our hotel and it ...

On this ossasion, July 2008, my company booked me into the Mount Herbert Hotel
This is near the Lansdowne Stadium and about 15 mins from where I was working.
I arrived at the hotel at about 7am and the staff on reception were extremely obliginging in allowing me to check in early.
The room I was given was extremely clean and in good conditionand well decorated.
It came with the usual tea and coffee making facilities, which were generously replenished on a daily basis.
There is satelite TV and includes the four main UK chanels
The buffet breakfast, that was included in the room charge, was well cooked and an excellent choice of items was available.
On the negative side I was ...
