MEDITERRANEAN
CRUISE -1999

By Bob Radomski

The weather, as on our previous cruises, was great!  We had 12 days of warm and sunny weather which made for wonderful shore excursions.  First to Monaco, Eze and Nice.  Rome was a long day but with a visit to St. Peter's Basilica and the Fountain of Trevi the tour was well worth it.  In Sorrento some of us went to Pompeii, some to Capri and others for a ride along the lovely coast of Amalfi.  Then it was off to the isle of Malta and into the Aegean Sea with a stop at Santorini.  We then spent a few more sunny days in Athens, climbed the Acropolis, rested, shopped at the Placka, had a beer atMcDonalds (!) and enjoyed a farewell dinner on the waterfront.  The next morning we departed on our separate flights back home.  A memorable trip was had by all.  So, where do you suggest we go in 2001?
