Mount Vesuvius, Italy
After visiting Ecolarno and before we intended to go to Pompeii, we took a coach up to the crater of the Volcano (we walked the last 15 mins of the way). It was an incredible view, you could literally see for miles. Walking around the edge of the crater was awesome, you don't realise the size of it until your standing up there. Doing this is one of my highlights so far of the trip, it's all a highlight actually, but this is definatley near the top.
