We just finished our first trip to the Mediterranean, and it has been really really hot! This much sun is definitely a big change from Norway and the British Isles. We had several nice days in Barcelona (where I got to catch up with my RCCL Rhapsody friends Tim and Mandy), Cannes (where I found a place that did an amazing mango soy milkshake, Florence (where I celebrated my birthday), Civitavecchia (where I visited my favorite outdoor market and enjoyed some great Italian pasta and espresso), Alicante (a Spanish port, first time for me, where we saw an old Spanish Galleon docked), and Gibraltar (where I caught up on internet). Today we are in the lovely Lisbon, and Nick and I went up the old elevator Santa Justa, built in 1902. At the top there is an amazing view of the city! We also managed to find a great vegetarian restaurant for lunch with an amazing buffet. Yum!! I love trying new things.
Tomorrow is our last time to have our turnaround in Southampton. After tomorrow the ship won't return until December, after I've signed off. I will be sad to leave it behind, I really like it as a home port. So from now on we will be based solely in the Med, out of Piraeus (Athens), Greece and Venice, Italy. I am looking forward to revisiting some of the beautiful Greek islands, as well as the Holy Land. And I can't wait for the upcoming overnights in Venice!!!
