"La Bella Italia" Rest Day Pompeii

Today was a typical tourist walkabout through the ruins of Pompeii. Kathren and I started the day with a visit to the beautiful cathedral in the center of the city of Pompeii. We then met up with Kathren's cousins Prue and Lisa. After a tour of the ruins I left the girls and joined my riding buddy Harry Brown for a trip up to the rim of the volcano Vesuvius. It was bitterly cold with a strong wind at the summit . We were able to walk around the track at the summit after paying our 10 € track fee! After photos and selfies we made our way back down the track. The ride down (and up for that matter) proved more scary than any of the descents so far on the bike! We ate at a small pizza restaurant near our campgrounds "Camping Etna"
