Caserta - Day 9

And on the tenth day we went to Caserta! It was really really far from Sorrento so we had to catch and switch trains a butt load of times, and by the time we arrived we were super sweaty and smelly but I still really enjoyed this day! We just visited its palace, that although it's facing its inevitable deterioration, was pretty amazing. I really just laughed when my dad told me that it is considered a "secundary palace". Well haha, seriously? Then my house is what? 

But see it for yourselves! 

I had to be really selective about which photos to put here because I just took so many! To the ceilings, the chandeliers, just literally everything! 

One small detail that apparently no one seemed to notice was in the "chapel" (and I say "chapel" because it could be a whole church compared to other chapels). There were still some tracks of the bombs that the americans dropped there in 1949. Later we found out that some men from the railway station also died due to the bombings. But hm, anyway, yeah, the chapel. Do you know when you're earing corn and you just go all om nom nom nom on it? Well that's how the pilars ffrom the chapel are, all munched and stuff, which was sad to see, obviously. 

The picture takes some of the impact that you get in the place, but I think you can get the point.

Oh, and the last thing I wanted to adress, was the palace's lovely garden! It was huge and so so green. I had forgotten how it is to be in gorgeous gardens like these! They were also renting bikes, and of course we took the chance. Although with my brother that wasn't the case. He didn't want to ride his bike because it was pink and had the word "regina" which is latin from queen. He needs to man up!

 The way up left us breathless, but the way down was amazing. Wind blowing everywhere, we were going super fast because and because we knew that cold water was awaiting us on "the finish line".
