Mary and I will be headed to Rome on Monday to start our trip to Italy and points beyond.
We'll spend 4 nights in Rome, then board the Viking Sky on the 5th; we'll sail to Greece, where we're doing the 4-night extension there as well.
Today I started looking at Covid testing that will be required; here's what we're going to have to do:
1. Take PCR tests on Saturday, 2 days before flying to Rome;
2. Take rapid tests in the Rome airport (this is according to Viking's info);
Day 2 in Athens. Yesterday we went to the Parthenon, which turned out to be every bit as amazing as I expected. Having lived in Nashville for 34 years, I'd seen the exact replica of the Parthenon that is in Centennial Park there, but seeing the real thing made me realize how spectacular it, and the Acropolis in which it is located, really are.
Crowds were okay for a Saturday, but by the time we left there were much more people entering the site.
The Acropolis Museum is the finest museum
