pompeii part IV

A few pictures from the Hotel Amleto in Pompeii.  A very sweet, comfortable room.  I always love the combination of peach and aqua, and the molding on the ceiling, the light fixtures, the bed, and the bathroom tiles and sink were so pretty and feminine.  There are definitely a few ideas I'm taking home with me.

pompeii part III

After exploring the ruins of Pompeii all afternoon, we relaxed with a gelato by the fountain, Italian style! It was the perfect opportunity for people watching (with my telephoto lens!). The old man surrounded by a bevy of young girls was particularly interesting. I'm not sure what he was talking to them about, but they seemed entertained!

Vesuvius!!!

night ship

In order to get from Albania to Italy, we had to take an overnight ferry from Durres to Bari... a deserted overnight ferry.  It was spooky, but I was lucky to be able to take all of these pictures of the ferry at night with no body around.
