TheTravelingSuitcase (@thetravelingsuitcasee) Tour with Kong the Plain off Jars
We travelled to phonsavan Laos and took a guided tour off the plain off jars. This cost forty usd per Person. We started our tour at the Xieng Kouang tourism office, and our guide explained to us about the American Secret War, which took place in Lao in 1960. we were then shown examples of bombs that were dropped here and unexploded bombs, which still cause problems today for locals. More bombs were dropped here than in the whole off WW2. from here, we then visited the plain off jars site one. This is the oldest site and a place off heavy fighting during the war. After here we had lunch. Then, in the afternoon, we visited sites 2 and 3. This is a must do in phonsavan, and I would recommend the guide we used Kong tours. #ancienthistory

Archaeological Park of Paestum 🇮🇹
#2024wish
Finished a great day at the Paestum Archaeological Park, and it is truly amazing place for archaeology. In a breathtaking spot along the Amalfi Coast, there was an entrance fee of just €12. It's little money to learn about old Greek and Roman history.
The main part, of course, is the group of very well kept Doric temples. These big buildings, made for Hera and Neptune, are just amazing. As you walk among them, it feels like the ghosts of old believers are still there. 🏛️🌅
The park has a museum full of old things from every day life in ancient Paestum. It's like finding buried treasure! The colorful graves and complex pots give a clear picture of the culture that used to live here. 🏺🎨
Once you've learned about history, gently walk through the beautiful nature around. The difference between old ruins and lively plants makes for a calm mood. 🌳🚶♂️
If you can, go to the Cilento National Park close by. It's a nature lover's dream if there is time. The views are as different and amazing as they can be, giving a quiet break from the history finds. 🏞️🌄
End your day by going to a nearby Mozzarella di Bufala farm - this place is known for making delicious creamy cheese. It's a delicious food experience that gives your trip to Paestum a tasty finish. 🧀🍷
Paestum, you've amazed me with the old world and the beauty of Italy's coast! #PaestumWonders #AncientHistory #AmalfiCoastAdventures #ExploreItaly
