Ruins, Heat, and Ferries, oh my...

Wednesday morning we drove to Pompeii. This ancient city was covered by a volcanic eruption and was discovered in 1748. It was very interesting to see the planning that had been done to build the city. It was so hot that day and no air movement within the ruin walls, that Cornie and I ducked out early and relaxed in a cafe in the shade until they were done. Others were jealous of our quick thinking!!

Then we headed to the Ionian Sea for an overnight ferry ride to Greece. We actually got a very good night's rest and some much appreciated down time. Close to shore we spotted a few jellyfish.

We spent the evening in Athens with a delicious Greek meal. Tomorrow we start the cruise. We will likely not have internet there, and then it's another overnight ferry and a late arrival in Venice, so...

signing off until Tuesday orWednesday evening. In an emergency, call our travel agent, Gloria at Marlin Travel and she will get ahold of us. We wish you all a good weekend!
