Having taken a LOT of pictures on my recent trip to the Mediterranean, I thought I might share a few of them here in order to instigate massive jealousy towards in all of you. ;D

Nice pictures, Guardian85. Hope you had a really good time.
I really do need to go to Rome. It's really not that far away and it would be a sin not to!

Looks like fun! I would love to go to Italy.
I loved Rome,
Especially the Trevi Fountain, the statues, the old buildings, the Geleto.
In NZ you don't get to see any buildings 200 years old let alone 2,000 years.
The view from atop the Castle is great, get to see the whole city.

Looks like fun! I would love to go to Italy.
Much of it is visually ravishing and the Italians do have a joie- de-vivre which paradoxically the French, despite inventing the phrase, signally lack. My daughter has netted herself a Sicilian boyfriend and with visions of exotic, sun- filled, Marsala-drenched holidays to come, I have warned her that if she chucks him ,I will immediately disown her. Kids nowadays are so selfish and think only of their own happiness.
I had the good fortune to live in Italy for 3 years (1972-75), and still think it's one of the most beautiful and interesting places in the world. Plus, it introduced me to espresso, cappucino, and vino rosso. Ah, the beginning of a life-long love affair.

Yes, she is a verifiable cutie. In this case, we have firm evidence that your prayers were answered.

Ahhh, takes me back. Spent a few days in Rome about 8 years ago and had a blast, both during the day and at night.
Vatican is unworthy of my Deathray. The flood generator seems to be working though, so... Yeah, maybe.

That there? It is kind of cool with the marble and whatnot, but it's still a big, rusty door. ???
Oh, I know it's just a big rusty door, but then I have a door fetish.

In my tour of the eastern mediterranean we have reached Turkey and the ancient city of Ephesus.
We start off with some holiness, with shots of the amphitheatre where Paul alledgedly preached to the Ephesans.

Lovely pictures, G85. Keep them coming.
I bet that museum was really neat!
How long were you there, G85? I've never been out of North America, so it's hard for me to picture seeing so much history in one trip.
Went to Rome on friday.
Out from Rome on sunday morning. Arrived in Messina on Monday morning. Spent the next day at sea. Docked in Athens on Wednesday. Crossed the agean sea during the night to get to Kusadasi on Thursday. Crete on Friday. Saturday at sea. Sunday morning back in Rome.
We are leaving Turkey and adding some landscape pictures of Crete.
