Final Days at Sea

November 24-25, 2011

Our last two days at sea were again spent relaxing on the ship and availing ourselves to food and entertainment, as we steamed from the North African coast back to Italy....and figuring out how to get all of our souvenirs into the same full backpacks we arrived with! Our cabin looked like a big game of Tetris as Jane laid everything out and went to work.....and STILL ended up with room to spare!

We also passed the Straits of Messina again on the way back up the Italian coast, and this time the weather favoured us with an albeit distant glimpse of a smoky Mount Etna, the famous volcano of Sicily.
