Woohoo, I am getting excited. We leave for our honeymoon in three more days. We married at the end of July but have waited until now to go on our honeymoon. And I couldn’t be more excited. First, and obviously, I get to spend three glorious weeks with my guy, cruising the eastern Mediterranean. But, oh the food. We are flying first to Venice where we board our cruise. After two days at sea, we dock in Egypt where we are going to have two full days and already my love of history and my love of food are competing. Imagine the date filled desserts, the food souks, the spices, the falafel, hummus, tabouli, and the lentils. From there we got to Israel for two further days, more glorious food to sample, olives from the Mount, kosher salt on hot pitas, the place where Jewish, Arabic and western cuisines mingle, the kebabs, the honey desserts. Then we visit Athens where I can have all my favourites, making Soula proud and finally a day in Split for Croatian desserts, plum wine and new delicacies I don’t know about yet. I hope I get to take a cooking class on board the ship as well on one of our days at sea. And finally, we have a few extra days to enjoy Venice on our own, just us, a quaint hotel, gondolas, crooked streets, and espresso in the squares. Cool evenings with warm meals, and just us. I love my guy dearly and can’t wait to spend this time away. And besides I can always entice him to try all the morsels that I am eyeing. I know I will have many detailed reports of my new obsessions once we get back from our travels. We leave Sunday, so counting the days. Wish you could be there to sample with me. I love eating, obviously, we better do a lot of walking or I will be just that much bigger by the time we return!
