Pictures from mummy and daddy's holiday

Mummy and Daddy went on a big ship across the mediterranean sea. The ship was so big, you could get lost on it. A lot of times, daddy almost did!
The seas were very blue and mummy and daddy had lovely views from the ship.
Inside, they had a shopping street and lots of pubs and cafes and even a casino.
One of the places they visited was Taormina, a city near Messina in Italy. It had a roman theatre where you can see Mt Etna smoking in the background. The views were just gorgeous!
There was also a very skinny street in the town, leading up to a restaurant. Lucky daddy is skinny, else he might have gotten stuck!
Another stop was Athens where mummy and daddy saw the site where they held the first ever modern olympics, and more recently where they held the archery event at the 2004 olympics. It was rather grand.Then mummy and daddy walked up the Acropolis to see the ruined temples. It was much bigger than just the parthenon pictured and there was constant workers there rebuilding it.
Another night on the ship and another stop the next day was to Turkey. They visited the lost city of Ephesus, which was an amazing civilization 2000 years ago and it was very modern, with around 250,000 inhabitants. And back in those days, they even had running water!

There was so much of the city to uncover and see.
At the end of the day, mummy and daddy enjoyed a lovely meal on the ship. They both had a lovely time and they said that they missed us heaps.
