We were not disappointed with the Herculaneum, a lot of the excavation is very well preserved and the streets show very well the houses and shops of the inhabitants. It always amazes us to see things that are so old. It was also very sobering to see actual bones of people - this was in the area of the original beach, where people took shelter from the eruption and ended up suffocating from the mud.
On our return we took the shuttle bus back into the town ship - found our way to the shopping area ( I could have increased my bag collection but refrained.), and had a lovely wander around - just love the architecture, although the washing hanging on all the balconies - not sure about that!.
We found a nice little restaurant and had a lovely spaghetti lunch, washed down with a Spritz - we were very happy.
We then continued along the foreshore and finally back to the ship via shuttle bus.
