Well, since the kids were up at the crack of dawn on Sunday due to the time change, and we were done with breakfast before 8 am, we figured it was as good a day as any to try one more time to climb Vesuvius. We packed up the car and got there around 9:45 and the place was packed with tour buses from the cruise ships that pull into the port of Naples!
It was a pretty steep climb up- Dan had Ethan in the backpack and Allison walked the entire way up by herself! When you get to the top you can see into the cone of the volcano and while there isn't any lava, there are a few parts that are steaming. There is a great view of the city of Naples and the bay as well (though it wasn't the clearest day). The walk down was much easier for us, but by then the kids had had enough and were ready to get back in the car. Glad we got to do this before it gets too cold!
