What do you have planned in Naples? My DW is originally from there and I have been there numerous times. I even drove in Napoli (Don’t!). If you go to Pompeii, try to find a tour that includes nearby Herliculeam (sp?) to see a less crowded and equally amazing part of the Vesuvius story. Try some fried fresh local anchovies for lunch too while in town. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually just walk all day -- exploring the streets, piazzas, castels, palazzos, cathedrals, etc., and stumble on a lunch place somewhere. It usually makes for a great (although unstructured) day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try getting to the Naples Archaeology Museum right in the center of town housing many Pompeii artifacts. There are some nice pastry shops nearby there too. This is one of them Edited September 19, 2023 by NE John 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfred Posted September 21, 2023 #979 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Not quite a sunrise, but I did manage to capture a lightning flash in a storm cloud at first light this morning on QE's arrival to Civitavecchia. Potentially our first rainy day of the voyage. Ajaccio tomorrow has forecast rain also. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfred Posted September 23, 2023 #983 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Today 23 September is our last sea day aboard QE before a port day in Palma tomorrow and disembarking in Barcelona on Monday. It has been a great voyage for sunrises. I've treasured every morning with a coffee out on deck. Look forward to seeing more photos from everyone's future voyages. 🌞 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try to return the sunrise photo joy. That is, if I mange to be awake that early! LOL! Either way, I'll definitely share a post-voyage report. 🙂 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibabacruisers Posted September 23, 2023 #986 Share Posted September 23, 2023 This is one of my favorite morning rituals. Wake up and head to my computer, not checking the weather outside, listening to various birds singing and pulling up the sunrise photos from a Cunard ship! How relaxing and enjoyable! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemarble Posted September 27, 2023 #987 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Here's a view of today's sunrise as seen from QM2 sailing the North Atlantic with two days to go until we reach New York. Generally cloudy conditions plus a lack of ambition on my part to get up early enough have prevented me from posting a sunrise photo previously during this voyage. I'll rectify that situation now. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of ambition is a severely underrated quality and should be much more widely lauded. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
