You might find Herculaneum more interesteing than Pompeji.
If you want to take a thorough look at Pompeji, take at least two days. As you will be there in summer, you might want to go into the excavations early in the morning, then walk around and look at things until around 11:30. Then go to the forum into the restaurant, and have a few espressi, and eat sthg. I used the time to read about the buildings. At 14:00 go out again and spend the rest of the day in the excavations again. Helps you to organise your tour, learn more and avoid the extremely hot noon time outside. Go and ask one of the custodes in the via dell´ abbondanza, if it is possible that they open you the casa di giulia felix, the casa di Loreio Tiburtino, and the casa di Venere, if they / it are / is closed. A small "offerta" might help.
When you are in Bregenz and want to spend a day or so in Augsburg, lmk.
