We had actually trained for three months for our trip, hiking up steep mountains in the valley.
If you have not run across them, there are some amazing videos on YouTube under 4K Walking Tour. Search for that and Pompeii, you will be amazed if you have not already found it. They also have them of almost every major city and tourist site.
I send them to my elderly mom so she can walk the streets of Pompeii in her easy chair - She loves them! We love seeing the things we missed, since we left after the bodies.
I’m with your mother! Oh, that sounds wonderful and, no, I hadn’t found them. But I WILL! Thank you.
