Yeah I suck at updating recently, I know! But I'm currently at Heathrow headed home and I have a few hours to kill so I will make it up to you :] Here are my adventures in Sorrento, Pompeii, Naples, and a few from Arezzo. Pompeii was amazing, of course. Probably the best place I have been to Classics-wise. I mean it is literally like a place frozen in time and I just had to stand and think "wow...this is exactly what I want to study the rest of my life." I mean breathtaking doesn't even begin to describe the euphoria of seeing a place like Pompeii for the first time. I felt in complete awe of the people who lived here, of the discoverers, and the archaeologists who preserved and maintained such an astounding piece of our past world. Amazing. We stayed in Sorrento, not too far from Naples & Pompeii, which is located right on the Bay of Naples. Absolutely gorgeous. We stayed here for two nights before heading to Arezzo for a night and then back to Switzerland. So here are the pictures!
