Pompeii: The Lighter Side [Travel Tuesdays]

If you caught last week's Pompeii post, The Darker Side, today is the continuation post of Pompeii, the Lighter Side.  If you have not heard my personal connection with Pompeii and the area around Naples, make sure to check out last week's post for Travel Tuesdays.  I really enjoyed Pompeii and took hundreds of photographs.  So it has been hard to pick out the favourites to share with you on the blog.  I just cannot wait to return again with my sons so that they can experience the history left behind. 


Q: Have you ever been to Pompeii?

  7. Thank you for loving this take on it. I felt it was going in a bipolar direction when I began so it was nice to break it up and showcase it this way. x

  10. I love living vicariously through everyone's posts and blogs too! Its a great (and cheaper) way to travel. Like window shopping. x

  11. The light there looks so clear. Is it all like that - a mass of ruins?

  13. I really enjoyed seeing "the lighter side" to Pompeii, I was in-love with your darkside from last week and this definitely didn't disappoint!

  15. Bonnie, your photos are absolutely stunning! Pompeii is such a cool place and I love your detail shots. Thanks for hosting Travel Tuesday!

  16. Yes. You should also go check out Herculaneum. Its a little different as the debris that covered it was not as light as the ash that covered pompeii. Its much smaller, but since it was so well preserved it looks more like what it might have looked back in the day.

  20. Your are very welcome and thank you for linking up. Pompeii was so much fun and I cannot wait to go again with my kids. I've really lot count how many times I have been but its so big that theres always so much to see.

  21. YES!!! I want to do a big Italy trip at some point where I just visit a lot of beautiful places like that, eat tons of fantastic food, and just have the time of my life. I don't want to do it on a backpacker's budget, either, so that might have to be a few years down the road...
