For today's vacation brag, here's one of the excursions for the Mediterranean cruise in October: the ruins of Herculaneum, when we stop at Naples.
Herculaneum was one of the victims of the Vesuvius eruption in 79 AD, although, unlike Pompeii, it was buried under mud and lava, which helped preserve it. It wasn't discovered until the early 1700s, so there was less plundering than at Pompeii.
This is one of the reasons we chose this particular cruise. We looked for an itinerary that included both Naples (for Herculaneum) and Santorini. The full itinerary is:
>>> Leaving from Barcelona, Spain
>>> Villefranche (Nice), France
>>> Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Italy
>>> Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy
>>> Day at sea
>>> Mykonos, Greece
>>> Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey
>>> Piraeus (Athens), Greece
>>> Santorini, Greece
>>> Day at sea
>>> Naples, Capri, Italy
>>> Day at sea
>>> Return to Barcelona
As you can see, there's plenty of fodder for "vaca brags"!
