here's me standing next to the same piece of ancient rome as i did the
|
|
|
|
|
last time i visited in 2015. see [my github

the inside of st. pete's basilica. climbed the 551 steps to the top of
|
|
|
|
|
it for a crazy view of rome.

venice was the next stop. this is the grand canal.

we visited all the main museums in firenze (aka florence, but firenze is
|
|
|
|
|
far cooler). this is the view from the roof of our hostel.

after arriving in naples, we headed out to see vesuvius and the ruins of
|
|
|
|
|
pompei. i'm not sure why pompei has an extra 'i' in english, but it only
|
|
|
|
|
has one in modern-day italian. look at the ruts left from the ancience
|
|
|
|
|
chariots in the basalt stone!
|
|
|
|
|

|
|

here see vesuvius from pompei's main square.

we did a tour around the island of capri. (think capri pants, caprese
|
|
|
|
|
salads, etc). we also took a chairlift to the top of the island for the
|
|
|
|
|
stunning view. unfortunately, photos just don't show the scale and sheer
|
|
|
|
|
drop from the cliff.

this is the view from our airbnb in amalfi. it was quite a pain to get
|
|
|
|
|
to... but it was worth it!

|
|
|
|
|
attractions in the cities that we visited. and in quite a short time!
