Walking the Ruins at Pompeii
I’m still traveling, and wanted to share another photo from the road. This one is of the ruins at Pompeii. It was a warm day, and I spent hours wandering the ruins and marveling at this ancient civilization. There’ll be more about this fascinating place in a later post.

That picture is really great. However it does not really show how steep that hill is. When I was there my Uncle who is in his 80’s had a hard time getting up that hill. To be honest so did I and I am in my 30’s so be prepared for a bit of a workout if you plan on exploring that city. It is well worth the visit though.

Richard: Yes, there is lots of steep walking! I was amazed at how many people tried to push a strollers uphill and over the unever rocks.
I enjoyed my time wandering the ruines, and will have a more indepth post about Pompeii a little bit later.

Felicity: Thanks for discovering Flyaway Cafe and leaving your comment!
I loved Italy as well, with so many wonderful things to see, do, and EAT! I gathered lots of fun stories and information on my trip and am looking forward to sharing them with everyone over the next few months.
