March 25, 2015 - Crossing the Suez canal. Arrived at the entrance on the Red Sea side and had to wait until about 9 pm in order to enter the canal with a convoy of about 50 other ships for our 12 hour passage. So since we were starting after dark, there was nothing to photograph until morning.
Ships waiting for our turn to enter the canal.
March 26, 2015 - In the canal in the morning.
Port Said at the end of the canal.
Along the coast of Italy.
March 27, 2015 - Arrived at Naples, Italy after dark.
March 28, 2015 - Naples, Italy - We went out to explore town today. Went on a hop-on, hop-off bus for a tour of town before we set out on our own on foot.
March 29, 2015 - Ajaccio, Corsica, France. This is the island where Napoleon was born and there are statues of him everywhere.
March 30, 2015 - At sea. Very ROUGH. 15 to 20 foot waves.
March 31, 2015 - Barcelona, Spain. Beautiful city on a beautiful day!
April 1, 2015 - At sea.
April 2, 2015 - Gibralter, British Territory. This very small piece of territory is at the southern tip of Spain and is just a single mountain, but it is of strategic importance as it is at the narrowest point of water between Europe and Africa. It was used as a military installation as it had hundreds of cannons and passages in the mountain to guard the area. Took a lift up to the top of the mountain and saw the many apes that they have there as well as the awesome views.

April 3, 2015 - Cadiz, Spain. Cute little town on the Atlantic coast.
April 4 - 5, 2015 - At sea.
April 6, 2015 - Southampton, England - Just stopped here to drop off about half of the passengers and only stayed here a few hours. We then cruised on to Rotterdam, Holland to dump off the rest of us passengers.
April 7, 2015 - Arrived in Rotterdam, Holland and was transported to Amsterdam. Will begin a new blog now. See part 3.
