2 days in Barcelona before setting sail

walked the lovely rambles and onto the sagada

not enough info from ship for alternative excursions so we made our own way into Marseille under our own steam. Nice town centre/ harbour getting everything ready for xmas . Managed to find a bus back to the ship

Nice views from the top of Notre church

Took a tramride around town taking in all the famous spots

we met up with fellow travellers from the ship on Livorno railway station on our way to Pisa they asked if when we got to Florence we would like to team up in a taxi to tour town.

For a qtr of the price we all had a very good time visiting,and the train back to Livorno was on time and economical.

Like Florence we toured Rome with friends in a taxi

Went to all the fantastic locations and made more friends

brilliant day

been to Naples before so didnt really tour the town

Santorini is a lovely island its a shame we went in November

With a couple of boats in, the harbour was bustling so we waited to go onto Ohia

10 euros each t o go up in the cable car into Fira [and back down again] beautiful scenery quaint alleys and shops for an hour or so then a nice boat trip ....wrong ...

the boats stop travelling around 12midday so missed out, we didnt pay another 20 euros to go back up so we mooched around for an hour and went back to the boat .

taxi....friends.....sights ....brilliant
