This week I went to Pompeii. Our villa was in Sorrento. Sorrento has a beautiful view of Mount Vesuvius and the Mediterranean. I traveled through Naples and all the cities and saw the different cultures. There are many lemon and orange trees in Naples. The driving is even crazier than Rome. The differences between places you visit is crazy. Seeing the different ways of life is eye opening. In Naples, there’s narrow roads and cliffs, so I definitely recommend not driving yourself. Naples is known for their pizza, art, architecture, and so much more. We had a guide explain each place we had time to visit in Pompeii and on the drive. In Pompeii there’s 3 teatros. We saw many bakeries. We saw a temple and a great view of Vesuvio. We saw the museum and the ruins. Seeing it all is a very emotional experience as it is surreal to be in history but also sad seeing the bodies. Pompeii is a large area and we did not even see half of it. I definitely think it’s worth it to go and learn about the past. (Submitted on April 2,2024)
