Positano to Pompeii taxi?

We are staying in Positano right now and want to go to Pompeii. We took the Circum. train and SITA bus down from Naples and it was long and crowded. I heard there are private cars too, but our hotel recommended a taxi... Is that a good recommendation? They said it would about $35 to get there and then it could wait for us. Is there a way to take a taxi or car one way there and then take the train/bus back so that we can take our time and not pay a driver for 4+ hours to wait for us?

You might be better off calling a taxi after you tour Pompeii, or arrange for a pickup time with the taxi driver (or car service) who brings you in. It's unlikely that the taxi driver will sit idly in the shade waiting - we did this in Assisi and the driver dropped us at the sites we wanted. left to pick up other fares, and was waiting for us at each stop at the appointed time.
