Vincent Poon :: Ports of Call - Naples, Pompeii & the Amalfi Coast

The port of call was in Naples but what we really visited was Pompei and the Amalfi Coast along the scenic drive of SS163. There was so much to see in Amalfi Coast that we spent (or drove?) a full day here and only visited Positano and Ravello. This is not just about the breath-taking views, but each town itself is so unique and full of character.

This is definitely on my redo list and some day I would wish to return to visit Capri's famous Blue Grotto as well!

This is the entrance of a pay toilet, I must say the view is worth the visit

The big dog is scared by the little dog?

Our next stop is Pompeii, we took the inland route of SP1 instead of the coast route of SS163

Pompeii, a Roman city destroyed and buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD

Pompeii was a huge place (44 hectares out of 66 evacuated) but sadly we didn't have much time on this as we have got a ship to catch...

Through Porta Marina we enter into Pompeii

The streets are labelled with street signs
