Cruise: Day 4 – Malta
Malta was nice. We all went on a bus trip round the north part of the island. We stopped off in Medina, the old city. Whilst there we stumbled upon a wedding.
Cruise: Day 3 – Sicily
We all went sight-seeing to a small picturesque town called Tormin. Very colourful. Mediterranean Cruise 2012
Cruise: Day 2 – Naples
Bo, Torolf and I went on a sight-seeing trip to Pompeii. Unfortunately, the guide was not very good and he kept losing people.

While we were walking round it started to bucket down with rain, though we eventually managed to find shelter. At least it wasn’t cold. It is a wonderful place…
Cruise: Day 1 – Rome
The family met-up in Rome and we spent the day sightseeing. A day cannot be enough in Rome, there is so much to see. We did manage to see some of it and took in the most famous sights. The next morning we went on board the ship and set sail. Mediterranean Cruise – 10 & 11 October 2012
