Mediterranean Cruise (5/28/11)

On 5/28/11 we started the second leg of our cruise adventure.  This was a 11 day cruise of the Mediterranean on the Disney Magic.  Since we had been on the ship the previous 15 days we were allowed to stay on board or re-board early after exploring Barcelona.  Video

While in Vittoriosa we enjoyed the sights, lunch, and riding a "Dghajsa" (small boat) Video for a tour of the harbor.  It gave us a great view of the Disney Magic.


We enjoyed lunch with this young couple.  She is a performer in the many Disney Broadway productions which are given during the cruise.

Day 6 was spent enjoying the sights of Rome


















The Vatican Museam is so large that if you took only 20 seconds to view each item in the museum it would take over 10 years to see everything.














After a long day exploring Rome we enjoyed spending day 7 at sea enjoying the sun and many activities on the ship.  One of favorite activities was enjoying the excellent food.


On day 8 we explored Florence and Pisa.  Both were beautiful.
