Homeward Bound
So today is our last day and we head off early for a marginally better flight home on Thomson than coming. However there is the same palaver with cabin baggage and we had to sit in the coach for an hour before we could check in. But home almost on time and all the luggage arrived and we are in one piece so a good outcome!
Overall we had a wonderful time on our magical mystery cruise. We didn't get to Tripoli or Egypt or Tunisia but we had ...

It was pretty neat to be able to look down inside the ...
Mother Nature at her worst!
... a long day. The next day we were off to Naples for some New Years partying. We wanted to visit Vesuvius, the volcano that destroyed Pompeii and is still active today. The sky was clear except for a single low cloud right over the mountain.
