We took the bus up the hill from outside the hotel, not a success, too long to wait. Then the local train to Herculaneum, quite a train. A real rattling, rather old train that the locals and tourists use. Rather Peruvian. Fun to see all the back streets and lots and lots of big lemon trees.
Got off one station too late so had a great walk back to Herculaneum through the less than savoury back streets. After visiting Herculaneum we took the train a few stops to Pompeii, then in the late afternoon took the train back to Sorrento. Pleasant walk down the hill after a busy day.
