Posting my Mediterranean shots (part 4)

If you haven’t noticed by now, it was sunny every day. Even the one day it rained (the first stop in Rome) it was sunny until we got back to the ship - poured down rain with an electrical storm, but by sunset it was clear again. It was in the 80s and 90s the whole time, so any time spent ashore was usually followed by some time by the pool.

This batch includes shots from Athens and Santorini, Greece. Both places I’ve been to before. I find Athens to be a city of ruins everywhere you look. I’m talking the historical type. It amazes me that you can practically trip over some historically significant building or object every block. The photo of me on the steps of one of the museums we visited show the happy, relaxed and smug smile I must have had on my face the whole trip. Santorini is an island I don’t think I can tire of from it’s beauty.  Then we returned to Kotor for another day which allowed us to see the town within the fortress this time, and still have time to enjoy the sunshine on deck in the afternoon. On our way out of the Gulf of Kotor I witnessed my first triple rainbow. I think it was just another example of the sights I was witnessing on this trip. The last shots are of Corfu, Greece. I didn’t get off the ship here since I have been here before. The town is not that big and as pleasant as it is, I found it to be more about tourist shops then anything else when I was here last in 2012. Still, I find the sight of the town at sunrise to be quite breathtaking from all the colors the sky casts.

At one point during the trip we had stopped by to say hello the Maître d’hôtel for the ship and it turns out he wasn’t only a friend of my aunt’s, but I have been on 2 previous trips with him. He actually remembered me from the last time I saw him. As usual he made our trip even more special with treats sent to the room nightly (too much to keep up with) and how an already great diner service got more incredible. I can’t say enough how great he always has treated me and those I’ve been with when he is on board.
