Photo Essay: Pompeii
Pompeii needs no introduction.
So,here we go..!!
The Forum
Statue of Apollo, in the Temple of Apollo, with Mt Vesuvius in the background
A narrow street in the maze that is Pompeii
Murals on the walls of a villa in Pompeii
Decorations on the walls of public baths in Pompeii
More beautiful murals (and a stray dog enjoying a nice siesta on a hot afternoon)
The eerily small bed in a ‘brothel’ in the ancient town of Pompeii
Erotic art on the walls of the ‘brothel’ in Pompeii – these were supposed to just provide new ideas to the ‘clients’
The impressive theatre of Pompeii
Temple of Isis
You can read here for some info about the famous excavated city and my previous post about hiking to Vesuvius will give you the basic information about how to get there (it is the same route as Ercolano, but a couple of stops further).
Great! Sounds like you are having great time in Italy
Thanks! Yeah, this trip happened a couple of weeks back! Was a great trip!
Thanks! Yeah, even if consider people were shorter in those days, those beds in that brothel were just way too small!
Loved your pictures of Pompeii. Have been meaning to go there for a while.
Pompeii is very impressive! Definitely worth a visit!
Yes, I know. I may have to wait till next spring or summer to go there.
