<p>i just got back from a 10-day backpacking trip to italy and i'd like to share some of the photos i took!</p>
<p>the travel plan was rome -> venice -> florence -> naples -> pompei/vesuvius -> capri -> amalfi</p>
<p>this is the roman forum (with colosseum in the background) as seen from the palatine.</p>
<p><img src="https://bhh.sh/pub/photos/italy/roman-forum.jpg" alt="" title="" /></p>
<hr />
<p>here's me standing next to the same piece of ancient rome as i did the last time i visited in 2015. see <a href="https://github.com/benharri">my github profile</a></p>
<p><img src="https://bhh.sh/pub/photos/italy/threeyearslater.jpg" alt="" title="" /></p>
<p>the inside of st. pete's basilica. climbed the 551 steps to the top of it for a crazy view of rome.</p>
<p><img src="https://bhh.sh/pub/photos/italy/st-petes.jpg" alt="" title="" /></p>
<p>venice was the next stop. this is the grand canal.</p>
<p><img src="https://bhh.sh/pub/photos/italy/venice-grand-canal.jpg" alt="" title="" /></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><img src="https://bhh.sh/pub/photos/italy/firenze.jpg" alt="" title="" /></p>
<p>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!</p>
<p><img src="https://bhh.sh/pub/photos/italy/pompei-ruts.jpg" alt="" title="" /></p>
<p>here see vesuvius from pompei's main square.</p>
<p><img src="https://bhh.sh/pub/photos/italy/vesuvius-from-pompei.jpg" alt="" title="" /></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><img src="https://bhh.sh/pub/photos/italy/capri-rocks.jpg" alt="" title="" /></p>
<p>this is the view from our airbnb in amalfi. it was quite a pain to get to... but it was worth it!</p>
<p><img src="https://bhh.sh/pub/photos/italy/airbnb-view.jpg" alt="" title="" /></p>
<p>here's me and <a href="https://tilde.team/~supercock789/">~supercock789</a> somewhere along the path of the gods.</p>
<p><img src="https://bhh.sh/pub/photos/italy/me-and-nick.jpg" alt="" title="" /></p>
<p>what a whirlwind! i'm pretty sure we visited all the major tourist attractions in the cities that we visited. and in quite a short time!</p>
<p>there are <a href="https://bhh.sh/pub/photos/italy/">a few extra photos here</a></p>
<p>thanks for stopping by!</p>
