Over the summer I took a cruise from Rome to Barcelona with my grandparents and one of my cousins. The way the Cruise worked is that each day the ship would stop in a port and then the passangers would go on day trips around the town. If you're wondering why I dont have any pictures of Rome, do a search on never going to spain again.

This is the Boat we stayed on. Its not a large boat but the fact that it sails fully makes up for it.

The Bonus-These were spotted outside of Eze in a private lot. I tried to get in to get more pictures but the security wouldn't let me.

Portofino-The following three towns of Portofino, San Futtuoso, and Camogli are small fishing villages along the Italian coast.

San Fruttuoso-This town is pretty much what you see in the second picture. It has a permanent population of 16 people.

Last time i met with my atlas it told me Rome was in Italy? weird....

Real nice pics. Thanks, looks like it must have been a great trip. You just don't see architecture like that in North America unless you visit Quebec City i guess.

What some splendid pics....ive seen the sacred family(the gaudi church shown in the pics above) and it looks marvellous, as well as Barcelona is.... Portofino, San Futtuoso, Camogli, Paul de Vence looks very interesting to go as well....

Nice pictures.

Somehow I get the impression that you took this trip a little too much for granted and were bored with the whole affair.

I guess when it's easy come, easy go... not much to appreciate and look forward to in life... :P
