Is it cold up Vesuvius?
Is it cold up Vesuvius? Vesuvius can actually get quite cold the higher you get. So also check the weather and be prepared for both boiling heat and feeling cold in one day and take a jumper if there's any risk of cloud cover. If it's raining, they also often close the crater so check ahead there too.
Where is the dog Pompeii?
Dog's remains were found during the excavations of Pompeii As the pumice fall-out deepened, the dog climbed higher -- until eventually it ran out of chain and was suffocated. He died there immediately along with so many of the Pompeians.
Should I go to Pompeii or Vesuvius first?
We both strongly recommend doing Pompeii before Vesuvius for several reasons, but it is absolutely possible to do them the other way round; just follow these steps in reverse and keep a keen eye on timetables.
