Mediterranean 2006
In June of 2006, Tom and his wife flew to London, took a bus down to Southampton, and boarded the Queen Mary 2 (photo on the right) for a two week Mediterranean cruise. Their first stop was in Vigo, Spain, where they visited the village of Cambados and La Toja Island. They also stopped at a winery in the country for wine and cheese tasting. The next stop was Barcelona, Spain, where they went on a city tour. Next stop, the French Riviera, with a visit to Cannes, Nice, and Monte-Carlo. Two stops were made in Italy at Livorno and Civitavecchia, where they took leasurely walks through town. On the way back, they stopped at Gibraltar for a cable car ride up the rock to mingle with the monkeys. The last stop, before returning to Southampton, was Lisbon, Portugal, where they took a city tour. The Queen Mary 2 on a hazy day
