#forumbaths in #pompeii

Rainy day to visit #pompeii The first time I have visited the ancient city was in 1993. Since then a lot of "reconstruction" has been done. Some of the street were cement covered, most of the walls have been rebuild and a lot of roofs for the villas have been finished. There is a full service fast food and pizza restaurant among the ruins! It is still fascinating to visit the site but if the "construction" continues at this level it will turn into a Disney attraction.

Hotel with a view. Arrived #napoli

The master and his apprentice. Vincenzo Santoro owner of pasticceria martesana in #milan baking arguably the best #panettone in Italy for 43 years.

#Unicenterbuilding The new face of #milano. There is a high #skyline rising in the city. I found the new architecture contrasts but also compliments the cities current buildings.

#Milano is a surprisingly vibrant city. #canal district has bars and restaurants lines up along the canal and comes to life at night.

One of the oldest churches in #milan. Only a few roman structures survived bombing of Milan during World War II.

Broll day in#milano. This highrise (364 ft tall) is designed by Boeri studios has over 500 trees. It is very eye catching.

View from my room. If you allow yourself to get lost, walking nights in #venice is fascinating and exciting.

#venice has tourists anytime of the year.
