Eastern Mediterranean Cruise: Disembarkation In Venice

    Unfortunately it was time for our cruise to come to an end on Sunday June 28th. We had to be out of our room by 8, but weren't able to get off the ship until 10:20, so we stayed in our room until the last minute. We were able to see us port in Venice and get a few pictures.

Eastern Mediterranean Cruise: Kotor, Montenegro

    Our last place to visit before our cruise came to an end was Kotor, Montenegro. I did a little research on it before we left, but decided we would just explore on our own. There was no need to pay for another excursion and we had a wonderful time doing things at our own pace.
 We could see Kotor from our room early in the morning.

Eastern Mediterranean Cruise: Corfu, Greece

       I was so excited about today because it was going to be a beach day! Yay. We had only had one so far on the cruise, so another one was calling my name. We went to the excursion office and ended up getting tickets for one that included a couple hours at the beach and a couple hours in the city. It was perfect because we could do it all.
     We got ready and had a big breakfast in the buffet dining room. Then we came back to our room and waited to meet with our excursion group {which wasn't until 12:45}.
 He was writing and saying all his friends names.

Eastern Mediterranean Cruise: Piraeus {Athens}, Greece

    {Piraeus is where the port is located, but it's very close to Athens}
      We Aaron and I woke up early today because we had to meet with our excursion group at 8. Aaron was able to workout and get ready all in the time it took me to get ready and our bag packed for the day. Connor must have been exhausted because he was the first to go to sleep last night and the last to wake up this morning.
   All sprawled out.

Eastern Mediterranean Cruise: Santorini, Greece

{This, by far is going to be my favorite post because it was my favorite place to visit}
    Today was the day I was most excited about for our trip. When I would think of Greece, yes I would think about the important historical sites, but I couldn't wait to go to Santorini.  Those beautiful white buildings with blue domes where calling my name! 
     We had an excursion planned for today, so we had to make sure to be up in time to meet with our group at 8am. As I was getting ready, I started to see the island with a church on top. We were arriving and Santorini was in sight.
