Early this morning we opted to skip the early morning Ranger Talk on the beach thinking we’d catch it tomorrow before we pack up. Then as we were cleaning up after breakfast the rain started. We tucked the generator in under the T@B for shelter then we tucked ourselves inside the T@B to read our ebooks and wait it out. After a while we dug out the MSR stove and heated water for tea. After a lengthy discussion of the advantages of a 400 over a T@B on a day like today, then another one about how grateful we are to be in a T@B rather than a Silver Shadow on a day like today, we decided to make lunch indoors. Mountain House Freeze Dried Beef Stew. Not too bad! Later in the afternoon we ventured over to the store for some snacks, some healthier than others, and a peek at the forecast. Don’t know if we’ll get to do that ranger talk tomorrow after all. Might be using the MSR stove another time or two today! We’re at Kalaloch. Got rain?
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.
