We're like accidental tourists arriving early morning in the port of Naples. Most on the ferry are suited commuters from Sorrento who've left slumbering swarms of tourists behind them. We came from Vico Equense, a few stops down the train line – our base for Pompeii. In Naples we want to see the looted treasures of Pompeii in the Il Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli.
