Italy

Naples: Pizza, Vesuvius & Pompeii

Hinterlasse einen Kommentar

A couple of months ago we went on a trip to Naples. Yes – I admit: I have been lazy again with blogging. Now I want to catch up before embarking on the next trip…

Naples had been on my „wish list“ for long time already. I’ve always wanted to see Vesuvius, explore Pompeii and eat the best pizza of Italy (and therefore: of the world!?). We managed to do all this and a little more in the 3 days we had, even though 3 days were a little short for the region – there is just so much more to see and do! To see everything properly, I would recommend staying for at least a week.

Unfortunately the first day was a bit grey and rainy-ish, which was OK for sightseeing in the city since you always end up going inside in between.

Greece

Athens – between old ruins and cypresses

I spent Easter this year in Athens – another city trip by myself, something I like to do now and then. My outbound flight was not at the best time unfortunately, meaning that I arrived at 2.30 am at the hotel and fell directly into my hotel bed. After a very short sleep I woke up early to go visit Acropolis before the hordes of tourists would be there. And it was definitely worth it: not many people and a magnificent morning atmosphere – perfect for taking pictures.

I strolled around between the old ruins on the Acropolis Hill and watched Athens waking up slowly and rising out of the morning mist. mehr lesen…

After our visit to the Golden Triangle and experiencing an Indian wedding, we continued our India adventure with a flight from Pune to Kochi. Kochi (or better: Fort Kochi) is a tranquil little town – a nice change from all the big cities in the North. However, the highlights of Kochi are explored within an hour or so: Fishing nets, beach promenade next to an unfortunately very dirty beach, little alleys with some street art.

21.02.-22.02.2017 Munnar

Hence we just stayed one night and took the bus to Munnar next morning, high into the mountains to see the tea plantations. The trip to get there was a little exhausting, but nothing compared to the trip back to the coast later (luckily we didn’t know that back then 😉 ). We went higher and higher into the mountains with the bus
