We are floating through open passages in the side of the rocky coastline. The best part of the day!

These next videos are from the most interesting part of the cruise, which if you have been following along, you will know we have actually entered into some of the caves and passages through the boulders.

We have one more enormous thing to look at and then we are heading back to the marina. Stay tuned!

The skipper dropped the anchor and we had a chance to jump in and enjoy these crystal waters. I preferred to dip my feet in and remain on a fairly solid boat floor.

This next video is my favorite of that day. I cannot explain the water to you in words.

There’s still more to come!

Perdonami! I posted part 5 before part 4. Oh well!

Come back soon for part 6! Oh Sardegna! Your wonders!

Ah, so you thought we would simply float by the coastline, admiring it from afar. Nope! We are going in it!

As we get up close and personal with these rocky outcrops and caves, everyone gets more excited. Can you feel it?

You still haven’t seen the best part, so come back soon for more! Ci vediamo!

I used to walk through this area of Rome and completely discount this area because it was ignored by Italian powers that be as an archaeological treasure. I was recently there again for the first time in a long time and No more! It’s being excavated and studied openly!

These are my last photos of the forum.

Column of Trajan

I love this city! Alla prossima!

The prettiest flower in all the world, secondo me!

I’m a person who won’t/can’t identify a favorite color because I like them all in various contexts/designs, but I am happy to name my favorite flower.

And just look how it grows in Italy! I mean, come on! have you ever seen anything more lovely?

There is something about that French light blue/viola color and the green of the foliage.

I absolutely love it and grow it on my terrace!

Our cruise just keeps getting more beautiful! What a coastline!

See you soon for more of the cruise!

This post is late! I’ve had so much to post about all summer that I am only just now getting these shots from Rome up.

It was a day of aimless wandering. Following a “leader.” Just impressions and enjoyment along the way. It had been a while since I’d spent time in Rome and I was just happy to be back in the Eternal City.

It was a beautiful, sunny afternoon, not at all hot yet. The summer heatwaves had not yet arrived.

The man above is carrying what?…a baby?! What?!

This signage seems woefully inadequate for the magnitude of the site!

Someday I must make time to visit this museum!
