Roma Therapy & More
Posted by Will under travel
In the time since I’ve last logged on, we’ve done Rome in a sixth of a day (or at least as much as one can in four hours: Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Tomb on the Unknown Soldier, Colisseum and a lotta walking in between followed by a semi-private tour of the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel), then it was along the Amalfi coast first to Sorrento for shuttles to the ruins of Pompeii then back south to the picturesque village of Positano before coming back up to Sorrento for the tender back to the ship.
Right now we’ve just pulled in to the port of Ajaccio and I’m looking out across the harbor to the magnificently rugged island of Corsica for some more daytripping that we’ll be departing for in about an hour. So until next time, here’s some low-rezzies of the interior ceiling of the Pantheon, a jawdropping hallway within the vast fresco map room of the Vatican Museum, a fountain within the ruins of Pompeii, and a shot looking down upon the coastal town of Positano.
Ciao!

AWESOME…makes me want to skip the Ireland Pub Crawl and do the cruise instead first! Can’t wait to see the details.

The Pantheon is my favorite building in Rome. Ooooh, I love it. I also love it because my favorite paper store in Rome is right behind it. I don’t buy shoes or clothes when in Italy, I buy paper.
Great shots! Glad you are having a great time and letting us live vicariously throug you two!
