Last Hurrah before heading home !

We flew to Barcelona on Tuesday the 21St of April, spent the night, saw a little of the city. We visited The Familia by Gaudi, then ventured to the old town, visited a couple of local markets, which was fun. Then headed to the pier to board the ship.
We sailed at 8pm from Barcelona, first port of call on Thursday is Cannes, we took the local train up to Monaco for the day, was great and didn't even get lost. On Friday we docked in Livonia, we took a tour to the Cinque Terre, what a great day, the villages that we visited were built right at the waters edge then up the side of the hill, we went by boat to the first village, walked to the second, boarded the boat again to the third, had lunch there and then by boat to the 4Th to board the bus back to the ship. Saturday was Rome, again a good tour, saw the Pantheon, Trivoli fountain, Piazza Navona, St Paul's and the other major sites from the bus. Sailed for Naples that evening, did Naples on our own, took the hop on/hop off bus, got to see most of the city, an old city was interesting, but not my favorite. Next we were on to Messina, we did the sightseeing bus here also, got a good overview of the city, not a lot to do here, the square with the church was great. Sailed for Valletta, Malta - really liked this city, took a tour to the Mdina, was great very impressive and then time to shop and check out the town of Valletta, good have done with more time in this port. On next to Cagilari, enjoyed this city on our own, climbed the Bastion great views from here, old narrow streets, did some shopping then took the city sightseeing bus to get an overview of the city. Then we had a day at sea, which was a day of rest, watched a movie, read and checked out the ship again. Friday docked in Palma, was an overcast dreary day, but made the most of it on our own, walked the town, did a little shopping, then took the city sightseeing bus for an overview of the city. The Palace and Cathedral were very impressive, however they weren't open to tour due to it being a holiday. Our last night on the cruise as we sailed for Barcelona and our return to London. We returned to London on Saturday the 2ND, we meet my Keiron & Phil at the airport, checked into the hotel, then headed off to Windsor to check out the Queen's residence and the town. Had great afternoon wondering the town, shopping and visiting. Had a meal at the local pub then back to the hotel to relax. Phil, Keiron and myself headed to the pub downstairs for a couple of beers and to say good-bye, but not for long as they'll be coming to visit soon. We headed to the airport around 8am on Sunday to board our flights back to the states, Phyllis and Sharon to Kansas City and myself to Spokane.
