Thursday 10th September - Vanella Domus B&B We got off the train and trundled our bags the length of the station, down the lift and out onto the street to find a coffee shop. One was just across the road and 2 double espressos and 2 capuccinos and we were soon sitting on the sidewalk eating our croissants and drinking our coffee. Once finished we said our goodbyes to J&P and reminissed that in March after Jannies birthday when we dropped them at C...

The bus trip took about 1.5 hours and the last part of it was on very narrow winding roads and at times we thought that the next motor scooter was going to end up under the front of the bus. They pass in the most suicidal places and w...

Tuesday 8th September - Constellation We finally met up with our tour and were bussed back to the ship where we got rid of our backpacks and went up to level five for a beer and afterwards we went up to level 10 for a luncheon. The choice of food is brilliant and no one on board should go hungry. Two o'clock came and went and the rain that was predicted failed to eventuate and after lunch we went and read our books and some of us had a wee nap. Early 5...
