Just wonder why we are supposed to go around and make advertising. So generally I prefer clothes without visible brand names.

In the past >we've been to Pompei, and to Amalfi >twice on day trips. Was your Pompeii trip from a cruise ship? If so, was it long enough? I only mention that because I know the the bus tours only do ~2hrs and only see a small section of Pompeii, so they miss alot. IMO the Naples National Archaeological Museum (Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli) is a must see, it's one of a kind. www.marketplace.it/museo.nazionale/emuseo_home.htm Below are Rome-Pompeii directions but I have other info and directions to a few sites like Herculaneum, Naples Museum, etc. They are a bit dated ('05) so some of the Links might be dead. Read thru the thread as I and others have updated some stuff. www.fodors.com/forums/threadselect.jsp?fid=2&tid=34665492 Herculaneum gives a good sense of actually going back in time because it has been reconstructed quite nicely. It's small and some areas have been closed-off so you can do a complete tour in ~2hrs at a slow pace. Also I recall that they finally opened the museum at the site. If you decide to visit Herculaneum you might want to pair it with the site 'Oplontis-Villa Poppea' which is nearby (a few minutes on the same Circumvesuvia commuter train and 200m from the station).

I'm Shocked!!! that you had a "bad experience" at a restaurant just outside the gates of Pompeii that caters to tourists and bus tours:-). Just joking of course:) and I'm assuming it was the restaurant between camping ground/hotel and Pompeii's 'Villa dei Misteri' exit? My 1st visit to Pompeii which I never count as a visit was on a bus tour from Rome and that is where we ate...ugh! Extremely over cooked spaghetti with a watery sauce which would cause a riot if served in a prison:). Regards, Walter ...And Paradise Was Lost...like teardrops in the rain...
