Things are getting better, no problem letting the game run for nearly 9 hours. It was paused for a while here and there, and I lost internet as well. After internet came back it logged itself back in and I could unpause and keep going without having to restart. Just wait a bit for streaming to catch up.
Pantellaria where I arrived at night yesterday
Odd stray lightning
It’s not that green in real life but looks pretty with trees
Back to Scicily, to Agrigento where the valley of the temples is
Galvestrano
A little detour to the Islands of the West Coast from Scicily, Isola di Marettimo
Castello di Punta Troia at the other end of the island
This island is popular for diving, lot of places to explore ocean life
Back to Sicily again, the capital Palermo
Massima theater in Palermo, Italy’s largest auditorium
Quattro Canti, octagonal square, to the right above the fountain at the bottom
If you zoom in you can just make out the statues on the square next to the church of Saint Joseph of the Theatine Fathers
Quattro Canti close up
Palermo also has catacombs you can visit, Catacombe dei Cappuccini
8000 corpses dating from the 16th century to 1920
A bridge on the E90 near Pollina. That road must have been very expensive, tunnel, bridge, tunnel, etc
Off to explore the Eolians, volcanic island chain North of Sicily, Isola Alicudi
Isola Filicudi
Salina (with Filicudi and Alicudi in the background)
Lipari with Vulcano behind
Vulcano is still active
Pertuso on Stromboli, also still an active volcano
A bit more dramatic in real life
Back on the main land, taking a break at Castrovillari before climbing over those mountains
Pollino national park
Salerno, looking at Castello di Arechi, front left
View from the castle towards the Amalfi coast
Amalfi on the Amalfi coast
Conca dei Marini, a little bit further down the Amalfi coast
This place is so pretty
It screams for the photogrammetry treatment!
Not far from the Amalfi coast, Pompei at the foot of Mount Vesuvius
Not much to see in FS 20202, ancient Pompei is in that big overgrown field
Mount Vesuvius, looking down on Pompei
Naples, on the other side of the volcano, Piazza del Gesù Nuovo at the front there
Castel Sant’Elmo, 14th century hilltop fortress
Chiaia district
Baia Trentaremi
Spectacular this time of day
Too much time spend in Naples, I still want to get to Rome today.
The weather turns for the worse over National Park of Abruzzo
More lightning along the way
Quite a spectacular approach to Rome
My internet went down again, the lightning continued yet approaching Rome didn’t look very good without streaming. It was getting dark as well, explore Rome tomorrow!
