The Voyage has Begun

After Rome we spend a few days in Naples which is both gritty and beautiful. It was nice to be on the coast and see Capri and the other islands. The pizza was good but the espresso was incredible! We pre arranged a tour of the RYCC Savoia and had drinks with Commodore Lezzi. Super cool sailing history and awesome seafood.

We boarded the MV World Odyssey and set sail yesterday January 6th. There have been lots of orientation classes and meet ups. We have a very nice suite on the 8th level starboard side midship. The ship is not as big as I assumed and is quite small relative to the Mega Cruise ships.

Today we sailed past the active volcano Stromboli and are now passing through the Straight of Messina.

We both had Global Studies class and a Seminar this morning. I then had Oceanography and Mary Jo is taking the Philosophy of Death and Dying.

Being with 400 college students is interesting to say the least!En savoir plus
