Hey guys, how've u been? I never would've thought i would miss blogging this much. Well i thought i will update you guys on whats happening in my life at the moment, so am stealing a few minutes to reconnect with you. We have currently stopped at the port of Palma De Mallorca. Oh wait a minute, my last update was in Barca so i guess i skipped a few events. Ok then lets recap.
This has been my first cruise, and so far it has been the best experience in my life. I mean i never thought one could have so much fun, and learn soo much in such a short time. The cruise tour was to take us around the coast of Southern Europe; France, Italy, Spain, and a few other Islands. Seriously i have never seen anything like this. The Royal Caribbean is one incredible place. I mean there are countless activities you can get involved in, from dancing lessons, to swimmings to Bingo, shopping, Kareoke ( Not sure about the spelling), skating, wine tasting, gambling, and sooo much more. The people are unbelievably friendly and the views are just out of a picture album. Its perfect.
Our first stop was in Marseille. The weather there was incredible, and the views were just beautiful. I felt soo stupid taking photos every single second on every single corner. But hey, if you were there you would know why. While we were sailing off to Rome, we passed by Chateau D'if, yes thats the same Chateau from the Count of Monte Cristo. The Chateau was unbelievable, a bit spooky though. The next morning we arrived in Rome. And needless to say, the monumnets, churches, great masterpeices of artworks, and the supernatural architecture is just too difficult for me to describe, because i know no matter how much i tried i would still not give it justice. We visited the great Saint Peter church, the Colloseum, the Pantheon, and took panoramic pictures. The weather was a bit warm, but hell it was all worth it. Moving on, next stop, Napoli. Our main objective was the city of Pompeii. For those of you who are not familliar with it, its the city built 2000 years ago and was buried by the hot lava of Mountain Vesuvius. It was one thing studying about it in books, but once i stepped foot in that city, i just stood there in Awe. For human beings to be this sophisticated and intelligent 2000 years ago, was astonishing. What was even more interesting was seeing the human forms, in the exact same posture they were when they died, that to me was pretty extraordinary. We then took a tour to what i believe is and without doubt the most beautiful view ever; Positano. Villages were perfectly alligned on the mountain with the most glorious view of the ocean. Everything was so simple and picture-like. Next stop, Malta. This small country was so rich in culture. It felt like i was watching a movie set some 2000 years ago. The architecture was so distinct from anything i ever saw before. It was all very charming, like a fairy tale. Houses were all made of local stone and castles setteled so gracefully as if it all belonged to a different era. Oh F.Y.I, Troy and Gladiator were also shot here. And finally Palma De Mallorca, its yet to be discovered lol.
Even if this cruise did not include all these stops, one would still have a fabulous time. There is so much to do and soo little time. After we're done from our tours, we get ready for dinner and a night of spectacular events awaits us. Everyone in the ship dresses up and heads to the main auditorium, where different shows are played every night. First couple of days, dancers danced to the music of Broadway. They performed to Chicago, Evita, Moulan Rouge, Cats, Phantom of the Opera, The sound of music, then to the most memorable moments in Hollywood; Titanic, Dirty dancing, Grease, the supremes, Ray chareles, and soo much more i cant even rememeber. The night was so glamorous, from the bright lights to the glittery curtains to the fake eyelashes. It felt like i was in a movie.Yesterday's show was of a soul band. They literally rocked the house, i mean we were all on our feet shaking and dancing, it was pretty funny actually.
Well, there is so mcuh i want to tell you, so much to describe, but my head hurts trying to squeeze out everything lol. We're leaving to Munich tommorow, so till then take care.
P. S : The roost, i can here you making comments about how people are dying and am here having the time of my life lol. Like i said, i deserve to have some fun, you know, considering ..
P.P.S: A recommendation : If you are married, or soon to be, i definitly recommend it to you people, because its such a romantic set, you'll just love it, not that spending it with family isnt fun, or is it ??
