Maggie and friends Salma and Diego climbed above the clouds to the top of Mount Vesuvius today. The sun was bright, and the views spectacular! Mount Vesuvius is the only still active volcano (though currently dormant) in Europe. They then traveled to the ruins of Pompeii, which Maggie described as "soooo cool." :-) Today was a "carpe diem" day, she felt, where they really made the most of the time they have in Naples. She has a day trip to Venice tomorrow, and is thinking about trying to get to the Amalfi Coast on 1/4, if she can work out the logistics of getting her next required COVID test before boarding the ship on 1/5.
Speaking of ship, Maggie got her first look at her home for the next 4 months tonight - the MV Odyssey is in port! Looks like a great place to stay for a while. She'll be in a triple (!) outside room, but won't meet her cabin mates until she boards. A floating college campus!
