luinalda | Random holiday picspam 6: Rome & Pompeii (July 2000)

The first time I visited Rome and Pompeii in 1999 with my school class. Unfortunately I don't have the photos on my computer, because I didn't have a digicam back then...
In 2000, the "Great Jubilee", I was in Rome and Pompeii again, this time with my parents. Still didn't have a digicam, but my dad did. ;-) I actually thought that we took more photos than this, but apparently I was mistaken as I didn't find any more anywhere. Ah, never mind.
