Welcome back. =D

How was it?

It was really good. It was a Mediterranean cruise, so I saw a lot of places.

First port of call was Valetta, Malta. I'd never heard of Malta before, but it was really amazing. It had been the home of knights, and the whole city was like a fortress. Even the old capital city still had residents in its medieval walls.

Next was Naples. Didn't really see much of Naples, but spent time on a tour bus on the Amalfi coast, ate in Sorrento, and visited Pompeii. It's amazing how much was preserved in Pompeii. We even saw molds of bodies, and there was one of a dog.

Third was Rome. I loved Rome the most, and I really want to go back. There's just so much to see, and I'm an art lover, especially the Renaissance, so it was really enjoyable for me. On that one day, my family and I saw the ruins of the ancient Roman forum, the Colosseum, the Vatican Museum (including the Sistine Chapel), Saint Peter's Basilica, and Trevi Fountain. I threw three coins in, first to go back to Rome one day, second for a wish, and third to fall in love with a Roman.

Then it was Florence. Again, more art and architecture. The highlight of Florence was seeing the David. It really is an amazing piece of sculpture. After Florence on the same day was Pisa, and everyone knows what's in Pisa. I got my picture taken with me "holding" the Leaning Tower.

The last day was Nice, France. Not as much as Italy, but we went to a perfume factory where all the women in my family bought fancy French perfume. Also, we saw Monaco, home to the F1 (Formula 1) race and the Casino Royale. €5 for a Coke!

The boat wasn't that notable, compared to the other cruising company I've ridden with. It was Norwegian Cruise Lines this time. I prefer Royal Caribbean.

In short Europe was really fun. But expensive, but I'm not paying.
