i'm planning to visit pompeii, herculaneum and vesuvius in one day and reach sorrento by evening to sleep. how would i take the circumvesuviana? what i am hoping is that i can take the circumvesuviana from naples to herculaneum then from herculaneum to to vesuvius by bus and then vesuvius to sorrento but it does not sound possible from rick steves books or at least he doesnt mention that you can. is it possible to connect circumvesuviana from herculaneum to vesuvius or can the circumvesuviana only connect from naples to one of those destinations and back? does that mean i will have to go all the way back to naples just to take the circumvesuviana out to sorrento? is there a bus schedule out there for the circumvesuviana? this is all so confusing. thanks so much for your help!

i'm beginning to realize it is a bit too much to do all in one day. i think i will focus on pompeii and vesuvius. i know i can get from pompeii to vesuvius by bus but how would i get to sorrento? would i take the circumvesuviana from pompeii? thanks for the great advice!

"Trains for Herculaneum (Ercalano) and Mount Vesuvius depart several times an hour from Naples (don't take the Sorrento line)."
Both Ercolano Scavi and Pompeii Scavi are on the same Naples to Sorrento line. Took it myself a couple of weeks ago.
