We’ve been in Greece and Italy since we posted our last entry. We started this leg of our journey with a visit to our friends, the Heards, in Athens. Lana took us to the Acropolis and we saw the Parthenon in all its glory. After spending a couple of very relaxing days with the Heards, we boarded our cruise ship, the Oceania Insignia, for an 11 day cruise of the Mediterranean. On the cruise we stopped at the Greek islands of Delos, Mykonos, Rhodes and Santorini and then moved on to Malta. Next came Italy and stops in Sicily, Sorrento, Amalfi, Livorno and Civitavecchia (Rome). After our cruise was over, we ended our stay in Italy with stops in Venice, Verona and Lake Como. Some of the places/sites we visited besides the ancient Athenian Acropolis were Pompei, Positano, the Colosseum, Michaelangelo's "David' in Florence, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, St. Peter’s Basilia, the Vatican City, Mt. Etna and Bellagio. Many, if not most of you, have visited some or all of these wonderful cities and sites, so we don’t need to do a history lesson of all we saw. We’ll let our pictures tell our story of the amazingly beautiful time
