My first cruise ever! And I loved it. I vow every year to go on another cruise, but so far haven't been able to work it into the schedule.
I won't be going into tons of detail, but wanted to document places I visited during this trip that are featured on "the book."
Athens
This was where we embarked on the cruise, but we arrived a day early to see some of the sights. We should have spent more time here.
The Acropolis - it was a beautiful, clear morning and I could see for miles all around Athens.
Turkey
First port.
The Roman Ruins of Ephesus
Malta
We went scuba diving.
Rome
I loved Rome and can't wait to go back.
Forum
Trevi Fountain
Vatican City
Coliseum
Sistine Chapel - we were the last group of the day and had it to ourselves
Mount Etna - we saw lava!
Monte Carlo
Fantasy day spent where the truly rich live, work and play.
The Grand Casino - I left them 20 euros.
Hotel de Paris - beautiful lobby, very expensive
We also went to the Jacques Cousteau museum, but it isn't in the book.
Barcelona
Museu Picasso - we nearly got kicked out because DH was taking unauthorized pictures.
Lisbon
This was the port where we disembarked. It was a national holiday and many things were closed.
