  There are actually houses half way up it. I only spotted them on the drive back to the airport on saturday. I wonder if they can get insurance :D

  Hi Mark,

  I’d say they would have no problem with the insurance.
  There hasn’t been a claim since AD 79. :)

  Cheers,

  John.

  Actually John, the last time it erupted was 1944. So if you were the insurance salesman, would you be taking a trek up the mountain to sell any premiums ? :D

  Hi Mark,

  I’d have never made it as an insurance salesman. :?

  I should get my facts right before I go making smart remarks. :oops:

  Must have been an interesting place to visit surrounded by such history.

  John.
