Italy

These articles and blogs all have a connection to Italy, in Europe. I have been to Italy several times both on short trips and when I have called at several ports on cruise ships.

Civita de Bagnoregio, Italy.

Today I woke up in the port of Civitavecchia in Italy. I had a trip that I had been looking forward to today but it was nearly too much for me.
Genoa, Italy.

Today, the ship arrived in Genoa, Italy, and I took an escorted tour of the city.
Leaning Tower of Piza.

I have always been fascinated by the Leaning Tower of Piza & have always wanted to go there. Recently, more of my friends have visited it & after seeing their photos, I have put it on my bucket list as a place I want to go to before I die.
Naples and Pompeii.

I woke early today and had eaten breakfast by 6:30 am. I was excited about my trip to Pompeii today.
Oristan, Sardinia, Italy.

Today I woke up in the port of Oristan in Sardinia, Italy.
Port of Savona.

On day 3 of my cruise around the Mediterranean, the ship docked early morning at the Port of Savona. I had initially booked a half-day tour around Genoa, but Costa Cruises cancelled the day trip, and I spent the day onboard the ship instead.
Rome 2003.

In 2003 I went to Rome with my friend Paul Dunne for a long weekend trip. I had never been to Italy before and was looking forward to spending time in Italy's capital city, Rome.
Rome, Italy.

On day 4 of my cruise around the Mediterranean, I arrived at the Port of Civitavecchia in Italy. From here I took a full day's excursion into Rome.
Savona, Noli & Finalborgo.

Today I woke up in the port of Savona in Italy ready to take a coach trip to the villages of Noli & Finalborgo.
