It wasn’t planned, it just happened. As the morning progressed we five wandered out of our three teardrop campers carrying our bowls of cereal and mugs of morning beverage and gathered around a picnic table to tell tales of T@B adventures and misadventures. It’s been a great pre-party. Now it’s time for the two of us to begin the process of readying our wagon for today’s 7.5 mile journey to Winklepleck for üCamp17!
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.
