Travis and Becky Fletcher: More about our honeymoon...

More about our honeymoon...

Contrary to my sister's beliefs, Travis and I did not fight on our honeymoon. We had an amazing time.

In Barcelona we took a bus tour that took as to all the main sites around the city, and we could get off at any stop to get a closer look and catch the next bus. We had a couple of beach days and relaxed and soaked up the sun. We stayed in a cute B&B that was just a short walk from the beach and the Metro Station.

This is the kitchen in our B&B where we made a couple meals and ate breakfast... Surprisingly milk is still pretty good in the Meditteranean!

We made good use of one of the stops on the bus tour.

Me as the Metro is pulling up.

We left early to get to the port to get onto our Cruise ship, The Norweigian Jewel, just in case the taxi driver couldn't find the port, as no one we asked during the week really knew where it was. We got there in record time, and since Travis is a "latitudes" member from his previous cruise, we were the first ones on the ship! We spent lots of time eating, it was a competition to see who would gain the most weight... I won with 2.4 lbs, Travis was sick so he only gained like 1 lb. SUCKA!! We explored Messina, Sicily on our own, and took bus tours to Pompeii and Rome. We both loved Rome because it is so beautiful, and because of it's history. It was cool to see the Pompeiian ruins, just to think that it hasn't been changed much since Jesus' time. After those long tours on HOT days, we didn't get off at the next stop, and then at the last port, Travis was sick so we missed that one too. But we were most excited for Rome and Pompeii so we don't regret a thing.. There is so much to do on the ship anyway!

Apparently I can't put any more pictures on... Maybe I'll try again later...

Since we were always so busy at all the ports we didn't get a chance to do any shopping.. So in our day in London I MADE Travis take me shopping amongst all the site-seeing.. So he figured he would take me to the biggest, fanciest mall in London! Sounded good to me, except when we got to Harrods, it was only big. famous, EXPENSIVE designers in that mall! I was so sad I couldn't find anything under, oh, about $1000.00, that I didn't even enjoy this fancy mall. So we rushed out of there and found some stores on the street that were more reasonable. So in all of our travels around Europe, I bought ONE SHIRT from United Colors of Bennetton. Yippee!! (It is a pretty cool shirt, though.)
