Pompeii 龐貝古城 (Part I)

Pompeii 龐貝古城

I had read many stories about the history of the ancient city Pompeii.

I was so keen therefore and ecstatic in having the opportunity to visit it.

We were lucky to have a very funny guide and she showed us all the main sights of Pompeii.

We came at the right time because the rain had just stopped and the sun came out

and we were rewarded with blue skies and white clouds.

我讀過很多有關龐貝古城的歷史故事。因此，我是如此渴望和欣喜有機會參觀這裡。

我們很幸運，有一個非常有趣的導遊，她給我們介紹了所有龐貝古城的主要景點。

我們來得十分合時，因為雨剛停，太陽出來了，我們穫報以藍天和白雲。

Napoli (Naples)

I went to two places outside of Rome, Napoli (Naples) and Pompeii. I went to a big shopping centre

(Galleria Umberto I) and it was a building with a huge glass dome. It was a very spectacular building.

Naples is one of the oldest cities in the world and it was the most bombed Italian city during World War II.

When we arrived here, there was a light rain. I can still feel this old city.

We started at the Castel Nuovo, and finished in Piazza del Plebiscito.

We had lunch near the ancient and famous city Pompeii. We had nice Italian spaghetti, meat and drinks.

One of the restaurateurs sang “Volare” and “O Sole Mio” which I thought were very impressive.

The next stop was Pompeii and the weather had definitely turned for the better. We had sunshine!

羅馬以外我還去了兩個地方，那不勒斯(那波里)和龐貝古城。我到了一個大商場
(名為Galleria Umberto I) ，這裡建有一個巨大的玻璃圓頂。這是一個非常壯觀的建築。

那不勒斯是世界上最古老的城市之一，也是第二次世界大戰期間被轟炸得最多的

意大利城市。當我們抵達這裡時有點小雨。但我仍然能感受到這個古老城市。

我們在Castel Nuovo古堡開始行程，在Piazza del Plebiscito廣場結束。

我們在龐貝古城附近午餐。我們食到很好的意大利麵條，肉類和飲料。

其中一個餐廳歌手唱“Volare”和“我的太陽”，我認為是非常令人印象深刻。

下一站是龐貝古城，天氣有明顯的好轉。陽光正照耀我們！

Castel Nuovo

St. Lazarus Church 望德聖母堂

5月9日我參加了http://www.fevershot.net/ 的活動 "婆婆媽媽風景團",

地點是望德聖母堂與瘋堂斜巷一帶, 這裡有很多古舊的葡式建築物,

而最有名的就是「仁慈堂婆仔屋」, 也是好多藝術展覽的地方。

這天氣十分好, 又出現藍天白雲, 所以我都拍了很多照片。

我也教受了一些攝影技巧給我的影友, 這一天也是母親節,

活動在7時左右結束,  然後大家都回家吃晚飯和媽媽吃飯慶祝!

On the 9th of May I attended my photography groups activity (www.fevershot.net) termed "A Sentimental Landscape Tour".

The location was set at The St. Lazarus Church (Igreja de São Lázaro) and the Mad Inclined Lane area.

There are many old Portuguese style buildings there. The most famous is the "Old Women’s House" where they hold many art exhibitions.

The weather was very good that day, there was a blue sky and lots of white fluffy clouds, so I took many pictures.

It was also a time for me to offer my friends some photography tips! That day was also Mother's Day.

The day finished around 7:00pm and then we all went home for dinner and we celebrated Mothers Day with our mums!
