Today we got up early and headed to a bus which took us about an hour out of the city to Cerveteri to the ancient Etruscan's city of Necropoli. This was an interesting experience, tombs which you climb down into… a whole city of them. It was a very peaceful area and contradictory to its name the city was brimming full of life.
We headed to Tarquinia for lunch and checked out the museum there. The view of the sea was beautiful from this hilltop town. After making the rounds in the museum and capturing a snapshot of yet another built in seat nestled next to the window (perhaps you've noticed the trend in my photos?) I wandered the streets. I found a music school with a stage all set waiting for an audience to perform for.
Next we checked out another set of tombs, these with frescos inside. The burial place was set atop the hill and again the view was amazing. One tomb held a racy scene… interesting to see what some choose as their backdrop in preparation for the 'afterlife'.
