A VULCANO TOUR

Holidays started in the beautiful city of Napoli. We enjoyed few sunny days there before we started to explore the surroundings. We took long walks, found hidden treasures in the city, ate pizza Napoli and sorbetto al limone and enjoyed life.





On our way south we visited the sites of Pompeii, where I was left speechless by the beauty of this ancient city.  The light there eypecially in the thermal bath was so amazing.





And then we saw the Vesivio on the horizon. 


And of course we took a closer look. I am so fascinated by vulcanos - there is so much attraction. Look at all the different colors and textures!



After driving back to Napoli we took the ferry and enjoyed the view back.


After a night on the ferry the Stromboli appeared with the first rays of the sun on the horizon. I was deeply impressed by its first view and the small black smoke clouds that covered the top. 


Of course I had to hike up that vulcano to see the crater. The way up was impressive - nature changed so much on the way up. We arrived at the top at sunset and could get a quick look into the active crater. The way down was really adventurous, we took a quick route through a huge ash field.




Of course our hotel had a room with vulcano view.



We took another boat trip around the island to see the sciara del fuoco where the lava gets into the sea.


Oh, I love black beaches!


Back on the mainland we went to the see the Amalfi Coast and spend some days in Positano to relax.




A NICE HIKE

 




The day after the big celebrations I got convinced to go for a hike although the weather was not perfect. We decided to go to Pilatus. The hike up was really nice and I even enjoyed it a little :) Sad thing was that as we reached the top it got so foggy, that I was not able to take any pictures from the view.
