Pompeii, Italy - 2014

Yes, it's Pompeii and not Pompei. "Pompei" is the name of the current city and "Pompeii" would be that of the ancient city (Roman ruins). We visited Pompeii via a guided tour covering part of Naples as well. Naples was a brief stop (couple of hours) in the 13 hr day trip from Rome. Pictures from the trip -
