This was our day at sea...so nothing scheduled....and we
really did nothing but just take it easy. While Audy took a nap...I did get to
meet and talk with some very interesting folks....than at 4 we were up on the
top viewing area to watch us go through the Straits of Messina with a pilot
boat, as the Straits are quite narrow.
Very interesting, and today the weather was
gorgeous....so many were out by the pool etc and we did enjoy walking around
the deck areas. Then at 6 we went to the Port Talk to hear about Naples....and
this was very good and it will be a good time in Naples to celebrate Palm
Sunday. As we left the talk we came back to the room be fore we went to
dinner...and there right in front of our Veranda was Mt Stromboli....with smoke
coming out the top. I got some great
photos of this volcano. ..... Just perfect timing..... and it was some thing to
see as we were so close to it....
We continued on to dinner at The World Cafe, as we knew
they would have pizza...since pizza was originated in Naples..and it was good.
We sat near the dessert counter...and that is always a laugh...as everybody
gets these great desserts.....especially ice cream.
Nearby was a group of 4 couples....and they were having a
good and loud time so as we all got up to leave at the same time....I asked
where they were from....all from Georgia and No Carolina.........so you know
what we talked about. All retired and the one woman spent a career with
USAA.....a fun time.
Tomorrow we leave for the included tour early..... and,
Donna...thanks to you ....we are on the first of the included tour groups...so
we end up with more free time at the end. And also, it seems the included tours
are really the best tours if you are not familiar with the ports. The tour
leaders are very good and articulate....and with the exception of the Dubrovnik
Cable Car extra tour, which is a real necessity to see all of Old Town
Dubrovnik ...the scheduled included tours are really the best way to go to. Oth
see and hear more about the Ports, etc. Very impressive.
More to come.....
