When I found out you could hike this I was so excited! Right now though, I'd use the word hike in the loosest possible sense haha
We parked near the base and were shown to a huge truck-bus four wheeler. It was massive! It drove for about twenty minutes and was very steep and funny....read, lots of fun! We then had just a twenty minute 'hike' to the top.
It was so beautiful. We had a quick chat with the guide and she explained about how it's changed and how they're monitoring it closely as they are expecting another eruption. 70,000 nearby residents will need to be evacuated. You could see right into the crater and there was smoke and vapours coming from different parts.

The different layers of rocks were so pretty had it was all fascinating. On some sides of the slope it was really green, with trees and flowers, whilst on other slopes it was all grey-black rocks. It was easy to tell which direction Pompeii was!
