Ever since I was young child, I have been obsessed with Pompeii and have watched numerous documentaries on the matter. This also included watching Pink Floyd's 'Live at Pompeii' on more than one occasion...which most probably fueled my obsession ❤
When I initially booked my holiday, Kuoni wanted £79 per person for Pompeii excursion (if I remember right) and you can only do it on certain days. Plus I wanted the freedom of just wandering around for hours in the awe of Mount Vesuvius and seeing exactly what I wanted to see.
