A 10 day cruise to the Eastern Mediterranean was hot and humid, but full of history. Coming from Australia, a relatively new country in the scheme of things, the merging of old and new in ancient countries like Rome and Greece continues to attract me - the beauty and delicacy of ancient columns and buildings juxtaposed with the often harshness of modern architecture and tourism seems to work, but often also seems quite jarring to the senses. These photos are chronological and follow the cruise itinerary. They take you from Rome to Messina in Sicily, to Athens and Mykonos in Greece, Ephesus and Kusadasi in Turkey, Rhodes and Santorini in Greece, and finally Naples in Italy.
