I was stationed in S. Italy in late 70s and toured Pompei - it was fascinating...
We spent a few months in Italy decades ago.
Visited Pompeii a few times.
Spent the whole day every time.
It’s the only place in Europe anymore that I would get on a plane to visit.
Herculaneum is pretty cool, too.
I’d love it, maybe a bucket list thing, probably won’t travel again though.
