I'm Back....

Well, I haven't blogged in a few weeks so here's the deal.   My hubby and I went on an amazing Mediterranean cruise so for the next few days I will take you on a revisit of our adventures day by day.  We booked our cruise with Norwegian which we used for an Alaskan cruise about 10 years ago which was also wonderful.  

Sagrada Família church
Columbus Monument
 Casa Batlló
Arc de Triomf
Day 1 -- We flew out of Atlanta to Barcelona, Spain.  When we landed in Barcelona we were there early, 8:30am and the cruise line had arranged to take us on a bus tour of the city prior to boarding our ship, the Epic.  Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia and the second largest city in Spain. We got to see some highlights of Barcelona which included the Sagrada Família a still unfinished Gothic style Roman Catholic church by Antoni Gaudi. Gaudi also did some other amazing buildings in Barcelona such as 
Barcelona Cathedra 
Casa Batlló & Casa Vicens.    We also got to see the Barcelona Cathedral, the Columbus Monument,  & the Arc de Triomf among other sites.  Then we were off to board our ship the Norwegian Epic. Pretty big ship I might say too at 155,000 tons with 3, yes 3 water slides, 3 pools, 5 hot tubs and over 6000 people on board.  We left Barcelona about 7pm and were on our way to our first port Naples, Italy on Tuesday.  Monday was our day at sea so we just relaxed and explored the ship and that evening went to dinner at the Taste. We had steak & lobster which was soooo yummy and then we were off to see the Blue Man Group which was really fun.
