Imagine going all around the world and not having to leave your armchair. It has been a year of shut downs due to Covid, and finding out one can explore in real time is truly exciting. 

Came across the website - virtualtrips.io  (uses ONLY chrome browser) and see where it takes you.

Here is Naples, Italy  Galleria Umberto I is a public shopping gallery and similar to the one in Milan.  Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan.

Angkor Wat Cambodia


Built between the 8th C - 12th C - with both Hindu and Buddhist influences. The towers were to be the resting place for kings.
Surrounded by a moat - to be impenetrable from foreign warring states.





Mythological stories of monkey warriors, hindu goddesses and kings protecting their land all carved in sandstone.

Leading to a floating bridge...
