Thursday 26th
Civitavecchia
Brekky and straight into town. They
laid on a shuttle bus to get out of the port and we strolled to the station,
where we bought a train ticket to get back here tomorrow. We found a café and
sat with a coffee for 2 hours on the internet until our battery ran out. We got
a reply from our host tomorrow night confirming that they are expecting us and
will meet us at the train. Also a quick chat with Lissa, who was certainly more
focussed on the screen than previously.
Lunch, 30 minutes of sun, and into
the gym for an extravaganza of sweat. Well over an hour. Quick laundry to take
advantage of hot sun on the balcony *sniff*, went to the quiz on national
anthems, which we don’t know any of but only missed a share of first place by 1
point. Ready for The Last Supper.
In Adam’s departure talk yesterday
he gave his version of the list of silliest questions such as “do the crew
sleep on board?” and “does this lift go to the front of the ship?”. He makes it into our blog for his explanation
of how to fill in the review questionnaire:
When you review
the entertainers’ performance remember that “excellent” does not mean that it
was good or anything – it’s actually Italian for “cruise ship”. Just
tick “excellent”.
He is reverting to the role of
singer/dancer and joining P&O Australia – might just see him again. (J thinks
he is like Robbie Williams only hotter.)
A nice dinner. The Americans had
enjoyed their day in Rome and had actually gone on a guided tour on Segways!
Tom and I totally gorged on coffee ice cream but it was the last opportunity.
We dug out the blog on our 4 day Royal Caribbean cruise last night and we seem
to have enjoyed it greatly – particularly the food! So the next cruise starting
in 2 days should be good. In 2 days we will again be steaming north out of
Rome, bound for Genoa, Nice, Barcelona etc.
It was sad to bid farewell to the
Americans. We share a lot of experiences and issues and we related to them as
individuals and a couple and a family. We didn’t manage to bond greatly with
the waiters but they were always helpful within the limited service model on
Costa.
