Yesterday was a great day- and a very spontaneous one! We went from lazing in our PJs to packed into the car and on the road - to find an Aqueduct that I knew wasn't too far away. I had seen a picture of it and knew it was near Caserta. I also knew that, along with Caserta Palace, it has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage sight. So off we went to find it!
This is the Vanvitelli Aqueduct.
It actually pretty easy to find and it kind of stuns you when you first see it! Just how something so entirely massive that has been around for a couple of thousand years can be missed is surprising! But this is really not a tourist destination. I'm totally stunned as the history here is just amazing and it must have the most amazing story to tell.
Kyle was very excited to see it and had some questions that I still need to look up the answers!
We also drove up the hill by the aqueduct to the Sactuario di San Michele and found some breathtaking views!
It was a beautiful, but cold (10 degrees celcius) day. It was perfect for a Cormick adventure!
