Italy

"Ciao! Bella"
It means "Hello/GoodBye! Good Looking!" in Italian. =)

I was in Italy for roughly 5 days.
Was eagerly looking forward to this trip cos I know the Long stay is the best chance for me to tour around Italy!

Thanks Girls for touring together! :D

Our 1st Stop, Sorrento!
Its a small town located to the south of Rome.
It is famous with the nice scenery. It is one of the favorite tourist spot every summer.
It was freezing when we visited sorrento.


The Perfect view of Naples Bay from the Square of Sorrento.

Baits to be used for fishing

We spend one night at sorrento and then we took a train to the famous Ruin of Pompeii.
Pompeii is a Roman Town City that was burried 1700 years ago, by the volcanic ashes of Vesuvius.
People in the town city died instantly, and after years of excavation, many victim's body was found from underneath the ground and are well preserved!
