Well, its been some time since I returned from The Turkish Delight and its time to recount some of the tale. We flew from Joburg to Rome via Frankfurt and had a wonderful trip. Frankfurt Airport was superb and it is officially my favourite airport. Once again Rome Airport was a disappointment.

We had two days in Rome to allow our luggage to catch up with us and we made good use of it by having a look at a few old favourites in Rome as well as a few things that we haven’t done before. We started with a walk to St. Peters Square and the Castel Sant’Angelo. For our first day, it was fantastic to find a Geocache in Rome, unfortunately it turned out to be the only one of the whole trip.

Day two in Rome included a very lengthy walk round the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill. It was fabulous to be able to go in to the archaeological dig and to explore the ancient Roman history – all the way back to the mythical beginning.

After Rome we departed for Civitavecchia which was the location of the Roma Cruise Terminal. Here we swiftly embarked Royal Caribbean International’s Navigator of the Seas. The Navigator was a mammoth vessel and we had fantastic staterooms. This ship is so big that it has its own street: The Royal Promenade!
