I have been remiss. I've neglected my blog for a month, but I have a good reason...yeah, yeah, there is no excuse if I've committed to blog regularly. Regardless, I'm going to blame Rome and Navigator of the Seas for stealing my interest.
One week in Rome was exhilarating and exhausting at the same time. We (hubby and I) walked until every bone protested. For anyone who's been to Rome, you'd know that you can't explore those ancient wonders without making your legs work. The spectacular piazzas, the majestic Trevi Fountain and the imposing Pantheon can only be reached if you're willing to walk the cobblestone paths. And how about that Piazza Navona, my favourite piazza in Rome? After covering so many sights, and oh...did I mention we saw the Pope at the Vatican City...we actually welcomed the end of the trip. Wait, that wasn't really the end, we embarked on a cruise for a much more leisurely vacation.
Our second week was much more sedate than our first...so sedate we used the ship's gym at least four times. There were sixteen other cruisers in our group who made this part of our holiday quite memorable. Their energy and appetite for shopping were infectious - next time I should leave the plastic cards at home. No matter, I'll get good use of my purchases and we left knowing that we helped the European economy of Sicily, Turkey and Greece (they really need the help).
I'm home barely a week, but you wouldn't guess that if you could see where my fingers are taking me on the world wide web...planning our next vacation already.Labels: Travel
