We had a great trip to Europe for a Mediterranean cruise! We planned this thing for almost a year and everything went great.
We flew to Barcelona and stayed in a hotel for a couple of nights. While there we rode the hop-on/hop-off bus around the city, had lunch at Port Vell, saw La Sagrada Familia, and enjoyed eating tapas at outdoor restaurants. The we got on a boat and saw Palma de Mallorca, Florence and Pisa, Rome, Naples, Amalfi, and Pompeii.
It was amazing to walk on the cobblestone roads that were first laid out by the Greeks and the Roman Empire and to see so many of the things I've only read about or seen on a screen.
What an adventure!
