The first stop on our drive around Rome was the Vatican.
Almost an overwhelming number of people, but our driver took us to a less-used entrance to St. Peter's Square. We were told the line into St. Peter's Basilica was so long that almost half the people in line might not make it in before everything closed that night.

when you're quarantined in your ship stateroom due to COVID and everyone else is ashore having fun?
You watch the crew watching the crew do a drill deploying one of the giant rafts.

After a windy, rainy, all-around terrible weather day (see previous post), the weather cleared just as we sailed away, leaving us a beautiful parting view of the Rock of Gibraltar.

Arrived at the British territory of Gibraltar last night.
Our first view of the famous Rock of Gibraltar was...
underwhelming.
The weather and accompanying visibility very gradually improved...
Finally, in the afternoon just before we sailed away, we got a full view of the Rock of Gibraltar

Ocracoke Island
Howard's Pub in the light of a full moon.
at the very edge of the Village. Last visit was 30+ years ago when it was my favorite off-season stop (one of the few places open off-season).
It has expanded and some of the rough edges have been smoothed, but it still maintains the Ocracoke atmosphere.
