However, on some of these cruises it can be a matter of today its Barcelona, tomorrow, Palma, then its Rome and on to Santorini etc and so forth. Places become part of a list to tick off. Everyday is the same really, especially if families are taking young children with them. The children like all the fun aboard ship anyway. Some dusty ruin or quaint Mediterranean village is not their thing. Those sort of trips that include the Ancient past are best for those who really are looking for that.I must admit, I felt empathy for the tourists and wished they could see it all in a different way. We have gone on many Meditteranean and European holidays over the years. I love it all. We think ourselves lucky living within reach of so much of Europe.TONYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07767998391294014275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713948124674580839.post-952608844804937652016-11-03T08:46:04.220-07:002016-11-03T08:46:04.220-07:00Tony, loved this post!

Maybe they were just as bored on the ships. Maybe they should have just stayed home and paid for the trips of some people who would have appreciated the experience!Jean | DelightfulRepast.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02038772991628796917noreply@blogger.com
