We left home Thursday with just a vague idea of where we would land. We found a quiet place in the Chattahoochee National Forest. The Rabun Beach campground. Yesterday we hiked to Panther Falls. It’s glorious just hanging out enjoying the camper. In northern Georgia we have found sunny spots and shady nooks, hikes and swimming holes. Mostly we’ve just enjoyed being out and about. We’re waiting and hoping that on Tuesday we will get the new refrigerator installed in the camper and get on the road.
It was an incredible experience to actually walk the streets of Pompeii, once a bustling resort town in the Roman Empire until 79 AD when an apocalyptic explosion buried it under 20 feet of volcanic ash. Archeological excavations since the 19th Century continue to reveal evidence of a thriving community.
Once the largest cruise ship in the world, Allure of the Seas will be our home for the next seven nights as we cruise the Western Mediterranean and explore the eighteen decks of this behemoth.
Our recent travel misadventures seriously curtailed our time in Rome pre-cruise but we did get to visit the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel before making the trip to Civitavecchi for an overnight in the port city of Rome preparatory to departing on Allure of the Seas tomorrow.
