    Hello, Rome!

    2025年10月29日, イタリア ⋅ ☁️ 63 °F

    Our transfer drivers met us right on time at the airport and took us all in two vans to our rooms at the Inn at the Spanish Steps. Driving in Rome is no easy task, with lots of traffic, narrow streets and very odd cross streets going every which way. I don’t know how it’s determined who goes next and where they can turn. But we arrived safely and were greeted by a staff that was overly anxious to please.もっと詳しく

    Off to see the city

    2025年10月29日, イタリア ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F

    The weather in Rome was absolutely perfect.
    Enrae & Tony were off to the excursion they had planned, and to visit with Tony’s family.
    Lisa, Rob and Sharon opted to enjoy the area around the Spanish Steps enjoying a Tea Room and dining Al Fresco at a Cafe. Jeannie, Dan and I took a tour of the City on the upper deck of the Big Red Hop On Hop Off bus, did a little shopping and tackled the Spanish Steps. Sharon, Lisa & Rob went to dinner after naps while I opted for take out and more nap time.もっと詳しく

    Hop on, Stay on, Shop, Walk

    2025年10月29日, イタリア ⋅ ☁️ 61 °F

    Riding through the city of Rome we enjoyed the architecture, statues and fountains. We saw the Circus Maximus where the chariot races were run, the Coliseum right smack dab in the middle of the city and we passed by Vatican City. Dan found his own personal shop and I found Hertz. Jeannie? A purse for a very lucky little girl! We descended the Spanish Steps, watched “chestnuts being roasted on an open fire” and returned to our rooms.もっと詳しく

    Onboard the Viking Star

    2025年10月30日, イタリア ⋅ 🌧 66 °F

    Left Rome this afternoon and arrived at the ship’s terminal and to a grand welcome with glasses of champagne, life jacket demonstration and directly to the bar. Our bartender will surely remember us all week. His name is “Krishna, as in Hari Krishna”, so Dan decided we will be calling him Harry this week. A few drinks, a quick change for dinner and off we went to our reservation at the Chef’s Table. The chef’s 5 course menu included selections from England with the appropriate wine pairings. Grabbing a nightcap for the rooms were we’re off to unpack and call it an evening.もっと詳しく

    Vatican City

    2025年10月30日, イタリア ⋅ 🌧 66 °F

    After a beautiful breakfast in a quaint breakfast room off the Rooftop Garden we headed to our tour of Vatican City. We learned that Michelangelo was not only a painter, but also a sculptor and an architect. And that Roman statues are sculptured wearing clothes while Greeks are nude. Visiting the amazing beauty of the Basilica there was a Mass in session. We were able to visit the gift shop and have our purchases blessed before returning to the Inn, going out for lunch and taking the Inn’s ancient elevator to the lounge, where we waited for our transport to the Viking Star.もっと詳しく

    Sicily

    2025年10月31日, イタリア ⋅ ☁️ 70 °F

    We arrived at port in Messina, the third largest city in Sicily. We woke to a rainbow from our balcony and had a quick breakfast before heading out for the day. Messina was destroyed in 1908 when simultaneous earthquake and tsunami killed 60,000 people in 35 seconds. We boarded our motor coach to our first stop, Taormina, an ancient fort between the Ionian Sea and Mt Etna. We enjoyed spectacular views, statues, the second oldest Roman Theater and shops along the narrow street.もっと詳しく

    Sorrento’s Pride

    2025年10月31日, Tyrrhenian Sea ⋅ 🌙 70 °F

    Locals from this area are very proud. Of everything. They are proud of their vegetables and the rich soil in which they are grown. Of their soccer teams, so much that earthquake monitoring much be shut down during their games. Of the organic wheat which makes the best breads, pizza & pasta. Originally pasta would be dried by the sun. Today it takes up to two weeks to dry. They have a very personal relationship with food. When an Italian prepares a meal they are not just cooking. They are saying “I love you”. There are over 300 types of tomatoes with Roma the worst. The best, San Marzano and the Sorrento is best with mozzarella.
    Mozzarella is so good due to the milk from small cows with blue eyes. They are proud of their green olives, their fish, mussels and the red and pink tuna that they are allowed to catch in this region. And they are obsessed with coffee. We walked around Sorrento which is a tiny, very expensive area. We shopped, we ate, we admired the churches, clock tower and our driver’s skill while navigating the extremely narrow streets.    もっと詳しく

    Limoncello

    2025年11月1日, イタリア ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F

    Our trip to Sorrento was a lot of Limoncello. Limoncello, limoncello cream, limoncello cream with chocolate, limoncello cookies, candies and sugar. Yes, we sampled, shopped, went to the Limoncello factory and shopped some more. I enjoyed a lemon soda and at lunch complimentary cookies and limoncello followed our meal. And my evening cocktail? Limoncello Spritz.もっと詳しく

    Mount Etna

    2025年11月1日, イタリア ⋅ ⛅ 57 °F

    Well, we didn’t get to top of Mount Etna, but we were in the clouds. “Mt Etna” means no flames. Really? The latest eruption to date was June 2, 2025, just 5 months ago. We had a wonderful lunch before heading back down, and down and down the narrow winding road to the ship.もっと詳しく

    Viking Cooking Class

    2025年11月1日, Tyrrhenian Sea ⋅ 🌙 68 °F

    Dan and I did not have dinner with our group, but instead joined 10 other guest at Viking’s Kitchen Table for a cooking class. We were all assigned our jobs of chopping, dicing, mashing, mixing and zesting. The Executive Pastry Chef taught us how to make merengue and we each had to use the pastry bag. My little tiny snowman came out pretty good for never ever holding a pastry bag. The first course was Dan’s precisely diced Salmon Tartar, followed by Duck Breast and carrot purée. Dessert was chef’s meringues placed on raspberry sauce, covered with cream and fruit. The welcome sparkling wine was followed by different wines to match the three courses. Being able to keep our aprons and hats, we proudly wore them to the lounge and our staterooms.
    Sadly, I was not in the restaurant to photograph everyone’s food. The mushy ice cream was all that was left when they remembered to take photos.    もっと詳しく

    Crotone and Ceraudo Winery

    2025年11月2日, イタリア ⋅ ⛅ 70 °F

    We had a leisurely morning, sleeping in and enjoying breakfast before our afternoon excursion to the Ceraudo property where they produce wine and olive oil. Crotone has about 65 residents. Their wind turbines produce much of the electricity for this region. They are famous for their olive oil, smoked cheese and wine. They spice everything but the milk.もっと詳しく

    Ceraudo Winery

    2025年11月2日, イタリア ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F

    The Cerdeau Winery was built in 1600. There is a small chapel on the property as well as a restaurant. Some of the oldest olive trees are “Century Trees” The olives of century trees are collected by covering the tree with a net, shaking the tree from the top, collecting the olives in a basket. From the basket they go into a machine which removes the leaves and then the olives are washed and the olive oil goes into production. We were then given a demonstration of the wine production. We enjoyed a tasting of their wines with a lunch of various breads, meats and cheeses. Their gift shop was extremely small. They were completely out of olive oil. The production of olive oil was delayed because of a mosquito that came from Africa. Being an organic company it took a while to destroy the insects before processing. They have received the Michelin Green Star.もっと詳しく

    Trulli Houses

    2025年11月3日, イタリア ⋅ ☁️ 66 °F

    Today we went to Alberobella, the capital city of the Provence of Bari to see the Trullo houses. Initially the homes were built by farmers who could not afford to pay taxes on a home. So they built temporary homes in a cylindrical shape of limestone, not using mortar, with a fake cone shaped roof so they could easily be dismantled if need be. Today the permanent structures are used as residences, shops and restaurants. We enjoyed lunch in one, visited the neighborhood church and did a bit of shopping.もっと詳しく

    Monday evening on ship

    2025年11月3日, Adriatic Sea ⋅ 🌬 64 °F

    After returning to the ship I went to the spa for an absolutely wonderful facial while the others went to the World Cafe for a leisurely dinner. After my facial I also grabbed food from the buffet.
