I nearly got to Pompeii but eventually gave up (for more details see my blog at the time: Moto-Euro Jaunt 2013: Intro and maybe I was just unlucky but the best thing about Italy is the coffee ... certainly I should never have ventured onto the motorways, but when you're trying to make real progress .....
