The biggest workout I received during my 4 months in Europe was Naples, Italy. I never realized how intense a city built on the side a "hill" could be.​

However,

I fell in love with the city in an instant, from dining on the most delicious food in all of Italy to the beautiful sunsets over the Mediterranean Sea. I almost forgot that the ancient city of Pompeii was right next door. 

Pompeii was a very weird place for me, you could hear children running around and the laughter from the other tourists. However, you could feel a true loneliness, an immense feeling of emptiness.
