Pompeii, Italy


In 79 AD Mt Vesuvius erupted and people were trapped to their deaths. For over 200 years visitors to Naples have journeyed through the excavations of Pompeii, where life lay frozen in time. What a surreal experience to walk the streets where there used to be a bustling Roman civilization. 

My lovely Italian friend who made me fresh Graneta (lemon ice crush drink- very refreshing)



Wild poppies - just lovely!


The ampitheatre





Frozen in time




Mt Vesuvious in the background - a time bomb waiting to go off again.
