Italy IV

Italy IV

April 11, 2014

Location: Pompei, Metropolitan City of Naples, Italy

And the walls kept tumbling down

In the city that we love

Great clouds roll over the hills

Bringing darkness from above

*elegantly singing Pompeii by Bastille because, don't you get the reference?*

We have spent a day in Pompeii. It was probably one of the most impressive and sumptuous place I have seen so far. While walking through the ruins of the city, one faltered with the glorious history and architecture of the 6th-7th century BC of Italy. Pompeii surely has 1000 reasons to be one of the most famous tourist attractions of Italy.

Cheers! xx

Italy III

Italy III

April 10, 2014

Location: Vico Equense NA, Italy

Orvieto is one of the places that I am longing to go back again now. It was one of those March afternoons that makes you melancholic. We decided to enter the Orvieto's Duomo (which was the main reason we went there) and it really mesmerized me. It offered me a moment of meditation while I was walking in a state of melancholy among the exquisite and precise details of the dome.

Such a shame we couldn't take pictures of the inside, and even though we could, I don't think I could've done justice to the results. The dome is something where wealth, fame and dignity unite in a powerful atmosphere. We also visited Naples, which I don't have any pictures of. After a long day we went to our hotel in Vico Equense and I thought I could stay there forever. The view from our room was just breathtaking, we stayed at the Grand Hotel Moon Valley.

I am on passover break, are you? :)
