What We Did This Spring... Part Two

The Sailing...

We have sailed several times on Star Clippers ships and loved every single one. Luxury and all the things you love about sea travel, but with smaller crowds than a normal cruise ship. 

This time was no different...

Day One: Syracuse, Sicily where we ate REAL GELATO! So nice to have the real thing again! Then onto a bus to see the city of Nota. A World Heritage Site for its Baroque architecture.

Day Two: Into Greek waters. Crossing the Ionian Sea. PLUS, I got to climb up onto the first stage of the main mast and meet some wonderful people! So...pictures of the ship...

Day Three: Pylos! Who doesn't love scrambling over an old castle?!

Yes, that is a gunport. And yes, it's pointed at the ship.

Day Four: Monemvasia! The most awesome place for pictures!

Look closely--I'm at the TOP!

Day Five: I missed it, because I had moderate to severe heat stroke. Sigh. But did manage a short jaunt ashore at Napflios.

Day Six: ATHENS! We and about 50,000 other people conglomerated at the Acropolis! Gahhhh!

Stay Tuned for the last half of the sailing!
