Путешественник I love the Forum and remember being there reading my first letters from home after travelling for 2 months in 1982! As for the mosaics and frescoes..... What's not to love.

On our tour to Pompeii, we visited the city of Naples on the Mediterranean coast. The day was very hot and overcast making our veiw from Vomero Hill over the bay of Naples limited. It was not possibleЧитать далее
Путешественник Naples had such a bad reputation when proceeds of crime, pick pocketing and the like, used to be considered by local govt as part of people's income so they didn't have to address poverty. Love the buildings.

Under the watch of the sleeping Mount Vesuvius is the town of Pompeii. The ruins at Pompeii are one of the most important archaeological sites in the world : a UNESCO world heritage site. The eruptionЧитать далее
Путешественник Such a tragic image. To know that it was a real person, not a sculpture. I think this statue sums up Pompeii's tragedy. It's the ordinary possessions, remnants of daily life that are most affecting.

We have spent a few busy but fantastic days in London. We both really like this city, so many green spaces and the people enjoying their parks, so many stretched out on the grass, or simply sitting onЧитать далее
Путешественник Ahh. The relief of an airconditioned airport and the prospect of a good night's sleep. Hello UK.

Путешественник This elegant building is one of my favourites: the colours, the little animal details on columns and its grandeur. To say nothing of the extraordinary contents. Can't wait to hear about the things you saw.

Путешественник Did you get some inspiration for your garden? I love the glass house: it looks so fragile. I bet it was a welcome retreat from the streets.
