Vesuvio

We tried to summit Mount Vesuvius the same day as we did Pompei, knowing that the weather was set to turn. Unfortunately they closed earlier than we expected and we were turned away. So, instead, we went back yesterday but due to the weather...

Oh no! It's closed! But wait, Kit has an idea...

...Just break in... like a gorge it is hard 
to close a mountain.


At the top looking into the crater and 
waiting for the explosion
Chilling in the fog with the place to ourselves - spooky

And a big lump of igneous rock

Pesky wombats making a mess of the fence. Kit's primary school science experiment volcano (with a Coke bottle) seems to have been more violent than Vesuvio when he was there. Good boldness but.

Oooooh you wicked Dunstanburgh children! Looks wonderful and spooky up on top of a volcano all on your own - great times to remember. X j
