(Atop a hill near Amalfi - Tony, Nico, Chita and Mikee)----------------------
Last June, Chita and I went on a Mediterranean cruise with our grandsons Mikee and Nico. We first took off from San Francisco Airport up to Barcelona, Spain but with a stop over at Amsterdam airport.
Using the usual means used by tourists - cruise ship, chartered bus, and on foot we four covered sites like the Rambla plaza in Barcelona, the port of Naples in Italy, and a brief visit to one of the casinos in Monte Carlo.
We hired a van driven by an engaging Italian driver who in his fractured English managed well to inform us of the hilltop views as you can see on this picture on the right.
Being a part of the place, which is Pisa, we tried to conform with the pattern...and that is why we leaned like the tower (see left).Mikee and Nico who went on their frist cruise some years back with us to the Caribbean enjoyed this one much better especially because of their visit to The Vatican, the Sistine Chapel and moreover both met wonderful people who were from Scotland and Ireland in the cruise ship.
