    Great new travel book for the Med

    Rick Steves has taken up cruising! He published a book, just out late June, Rick Steves' Mediterranean Cruise Ports, a diy book for the Med. He starts out with an overview of cruising and the lines, and it is obviously aimed at the US market, but the majority of the book, and it is a fat one, is on the ports. He doesn't cover them all...no Kotor, Israel, Egypt, North Africa, Mallorca, but maybe he will add them in the next edition. He tells you how to get to transportation from the ship, what it should cost, where to go, where the bathrooms are, where internet is, and each part closes with a sidebar on What if I Miss My Ship?
    I have great hopes that he is working on Northern Europe...

    Thanks for the heads up , I bought a group of his books on a PBS pledgebreak with a free money pouch. Problem was it didn't arrive before our trip to Barcelona and I was pickpocketed on Las Ramblas.
