I love vacations... but my new British Friends that work with Carly's grandparents in Jerusalem don't say that they are "going on vacation" ... they go "On Holiday!" ... Carly's Grandparents went "on holiday" in November and let me go with them!!! They took a Mediterranean cruise ... it was SO MUCH FUN!!!
Our Cruise ship
NCCL's Voyager of the Seas
We visited Pompeii and drove along the Amalfi Coast
The volcano Vesuvius erupted in the first century and buried Pompeii
We walked through the ruins of Pompeii
The whole town was buried under tons of ash and lava
many of the buildings were pretty big
The next day, we took a train to Rome
We visited the Vatican
St. Peter's Bascilica is the biggest church in the world
This is the Vatican Square where the Pope speaks to the people
We visited Pisa where we saw the leaning tower
I did not push it over!
My favorite part of the cruise!
Our cabin steward left us a "Towel Critter"
every night that he had made out of our towels.
