Ciao Italy



I had another travel break last week and 2 friends and I decided to explore Italy for 7 days. We went to Venice, Naples, Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi, Pompeii Ruins, and Vesuvio. Yes, that’s a LOT of places. My feet are still hurting from all the travelling.

I won’t bore you with every detail of each place I went but I will give you a quick overview of what my friends and I did in each place. Just know that each days weather was sun sun and more sun! Such a nice change from Denmark.

Venice: Walked around, went to Murano (a little island 30 minutes away from Venice) and visited a glass museum. Had a TON of delicious gelato. While on the island of Venice, we were able to climb the bell tower to get a great view of Venice, made a new friend named Daniel, got a pair of sunglasses but then lost them two days later. I don’t know how I could have lost them. L

Gelato for life <3
Naples: On our way to the hostel, we realized how scary Naples is so we quickly found another hostel in Sorrento which is a much safer city because more older people live there. Though it was scary, Naples’ culture seemed very rick and the pizza was phenomenal.

Sorrento: Walked around, saw multiple beautiful sunsets and ate more pizza. Bought some souvenirs for my family.

Positano: Gorgeous place. Went to the beach to collect sea glass. Ate pizza.

Amalfi: Found the ruins, climbed a lot of stairs and had an amazing view of Amalfi. I was a little disappointed with Amalfi because it wasn’t as beautiful as all the pictures I had seen of it. Oh and had more gelato.
Pompeii Ruins: Did the only thing there is to do, see ruins.

Vesuvio: Also known as Mount Vesuvius that buried the city of Pompeii and Herculaneum. You are able to go walk to the crater granted you pay the 22 euro bus fee which includes entrance to the crater and hike up 20 minutes at a 14% incline. Making it to the crater was amazing, I got to see steam coming out of the rocks since this is still an active volcano.

Archeological museum: Went here to see all the things that were excavated from Pompeii and also got to see some great sculptures of which one was named Flora!

Now a video of some random clips I combined from my Italy trip. Till' next time!
