A MEDITERRANEAN CRUISE

The following photographs were taken whilst I was on a cruise on the MSC Sinfonia in June 2005.

Vesuvius, near Naples
I was disappointed not to be allowed to the true summit. The souvenir shop, halfway round the crater rim was as far as the public was allowed

As a fan of Gaudi I found little enough time to visit his works, the housing development Park Guell and his great, as yet unfinished, cathedral the La Sagrada Familia. The sky was overcast.
