Treklens this is 'to much', but I hope you forgive me this time in posting a photo with all the little ones inside.

How to make a start after being to 3 diffrent parts of the world and have encountered so many fantastic impressions as on this Cruisse over the Mediteranean Sea with the 'Norwegian Jewel' ship.

To me almost just as important as the whole Cruisse
(let me tell that right away !!!) was meeting my dearest friends:
*vsinopoulos* - Vassilis and lovely Tanya
*cstathoulis* - Constantinous and lovely Hellen
(Top left and bottom left)
Than... this way of spending a Vacation is something I can recommend you! Every morning after your breakfast your 'Hotel' is at an another location.
In my case we started in Greece:

May 7: Pireaus Greece
May 8: Katakolon Greece
May 9: Corfu Greece
May 10 At Sea
May 11 and 12: Alexandria Egypt
May 13 At Sea
May 14 Iraklion - Crete Greece
May 15 Santorini Island Greece
May 16 Mykonos Greece
May 17 Izmir Turkey
May 18 Istanbul Turkey
May 19 Istanbul and flight home with KLM

Folks; the service/cabin/food on the ship was excellent; we met many wonderfull people from ALL over the world and the excursions/places to visit are incredible!
It did change my opnion about making a good vacation
for sure!

Greek and Turkey are places with the kindest people you can imagine.
Istanbul is a place to say: WOW !

More about this tour in coming time

Bottom line..
Alas it was not possible for us to stay in Athens a few days longer and that was a shadow part of this trip, since it was an all inclusive tour.

How we would have loved to spend a few more days with Tannya Vassilis & Hellen and Constantinous.
(More luck in September guys: here in Holland!)

Thanks for popping in Folks;
Best regards

John T.

Linda
B-)

very nice series of photos john :)
good memories :) thanks for sharing with us

koh

Well well well,

What a splendid composition, there's nothing like all-in-one photo, just like you showed us here.

The little ones show us the most precious and nicest places you have visited, and of course our dearest TL friends Tannya+Vassilis & Hellen+Constantinous.

And what's also great here is the ship you had your trip on, which takes most of the photo here.

Well done John, good you enjoyed yourselves during this wonderful trip. I would love one too, but my g/f hates ships and ferries, well boats in general.
Well I could travel on my own, and have all the time for my photography ;-) LOL!!!

Take care
Tom

He John,

Prachtig, in een keer alle vakantiefoto's op het net en je kunt zo weer op vakantie!
Mooi schip zeg, wat een ding. Voor je het allemaal gezien hebt ben je weer thuis.
Lijkt me heel indrukwekkend om in zo'n korte tijd zoveel te zien en mee te maken.
Ik hoop dat het je goed bekomen is.

Groet,

Hendrik

Hi John,
Mooi hoor. Zelf ben ik ook eens wezen cruisen op de middelandse zee, een érg leuke ervaring. Je bent er zelfs moe van na afloop, weet ik nog. Dus er toen een weekje mallorca aan vastgeknoopt.
De foto vind ik erg geslaagd. Het geeft een mooie impressie van een aantal hoogtepunten, maar je hebt er vast nog véél meer.
De plaatjes binnen de foto zijn allemaal erg mooi. Het frame rond het perfect af.
groeten,
Joop!

Hi John.
Good idea, interesting motive. Excellent collage. Well done. tfs. Stev

Your itinerary makes me envious, my friend! I got an itch to travel, but no scratch! You probably have hundreds of shots to feed into TL for the next little while! Nice intro to what is yet to come!
