Sorrento is a famous holiday resort and was really busy but also very beautiful.  It is a small city with a pretty old town positioned high above the sea on one of the most spectacular points of the Campanian coast. 

Visiting Ancient Pompei is a fascinating experience and so much better than we had expected. The whole place is a lot bigger than it looks from the outside too.  I knew nothing of Pompei and Vesuvius before we visited the ruins but I do regret that I didn’t at least do a bit of research on the internet or look through some guidebooks first.
