This seems very interesting trip on the cruise.

Another place that I went to visit

Maybe you explained it in an earlier post, but why is the ship covered with cartoons?

Randy said...

That is cool. So glad you captured them.

Dina said...

Very interesting. I guess I never thought about where ships get their fuel. Thanks for the new word bunker/ing.

Love that first shot. Looks like a winter sky, almost a snow sky.

This bottom image is so cool with that ominous sky.

The sky does add a lot of drama to the second photo. I do like the colorful ship, it looks quite festive.

I didn't know Giglio was an island! I once had a student with the last name Giglio so now I'm wondering if his family came from there.
