HI kind folks
Need some help with an itinerary for one day in the area.
Flying in from Palermo at 9:30am. (luggage minimal: 2 cabin roller bags and 2 large backpacks) On Tuesday Oct 28.
I want to plan for a visit for 2 people to Herculaneum and possibly Vesuvius, then back to train station for a train trip to Rome. (hopefully arrive Rome no later than 20:00/21:00..
Note: My sister has never been to any of these ruins and I didn't want to give up the chance for her to sample, so we can come back one day for more exploration.! Yes I know Im really I'm being rushed and ambitious!
I thought about taking a prepaid or taxi to Herculaneum to save on time (about 80E?). by best guess is the earliest I could arrive in Herculaneum is about 11:00. At the back end, we would then take local train back to Naples train station to depart for Rome.
I understand there is also a bus to Vesuvius leaving every hour from Ercolano. (this is seems about 2 hours total time)
For luggage storage I see we can walk to the H park entrance and store at the site, or I also read that the Vesuvius bus has a paid storage facility at/near the Ecolono station. Can someone please confirm?.
*I'd be willing to investigate/pay for a tour that picked up from airport, did H and V and returned us to train station in Ecolono or Naples. if someone could recommend one. Guided even better.
If you could recommend a feasible itinerary for the day including at least one quick/easy food stop, (even if it's a pizza to go before we get on the train to Rome! (hate to miss a Napoli pizza :)
Please include transportation options, considering luggage too. Appreciate you all .
thank you
(of course all this hinges on my plane actually being on time too!)
