In 2016 we booked a reasonably late deal cruise on the fairly new ship Royal Princess for a week in the Mediterranean. Mediterranean cruises are port-intensive ones so we had a stop on the very first day at Naples. We opted to take a tour that visited a cameo workshop then took us on a guided walk around Herculaneum. Herculaneum, like Pompeii, was buried under volcanic ash in 79 CE when Vesuvius erupted.

We're in the ruins of an ancient Roman city looking along a narrow street between buildings. The walls either side aren't fully intact with parts barely above head height and they're made of pale, sandy-coloured bricks, mostly arranged as expected but some at angles to form diamond or diagonal patterns. The street consists of narrow strips of flat, raised pavement either side of a recessed surface with a slight curve on it up towards the centre, made of larger blocks of cobblestones. It's about the width of a cart pulled by a single horse. There are some tourists gathered towards the end of the street and one woman is walking this way on the opposite pavement to us. A raised bank at the end of the street is topped by tall thin trees against the patchy sky and more trees at ground level can be seen over the top of the corner of the wall to the left of us. A sign on the wall reads "Insula VI."
