Rare NorbertsNiece Posted September 24, 2014 Author #251 Share Posted September 24, 2014 A lady came up to me after line-dancing class.... she remembered me from the Flash Mob on Adventure! Check out the profile on these rocks!! The drive is spectacular..... I'm so sorry my pics don't do it justice..... hopefully one of my companions will post here on their return We arrive in Positano..... this town is perched on the side of a mountain that falls into the sea.... little streets strewn with shops..... many stairs and steep cobbled alley ways.

Rare NorbertsNiece Posted September 24, 2014 Author #254 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I skipped lunch today. Formal night tonight so figured I won't go hungry. Now I'm peckish. Sigh. Would order room service but there's nothing there I fancy..... I have C&A biccies..... gluten..... and a chocolate milk in the 'fridge' that feels cold...... sorted.... and I have Udi's GF biscuits..... happy bunny..... The Church of Santa Maria Assunta..... legend says that a ship was becalmed and the sailors heard a voice telling them to 'set me down'...... so they decided to place an icon they were carrying in the sea..... at that moment the wind picked up and they deposited the icon where the church now stands. As it's Sunday I am respectful of the places of worship and won't take photos of the interiors. Others do however. I told you it was steep. So many different coloured loafers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare NorbertsNiece Posted September 24, 2014 Author #262 Share Posted September 24, 2014 While I'm waiting for the next set of pics to upload let me tell you about the MDR tonight. Saffron. I arrived at my booked time. The table I sat at last night is full. There is nowhere for me to sit with the same waitstaff unless I sit alone. According to the greeter with MTD you get sat wherever if you have MTD. In all the years I have been dining MTD this has never happened before. I was sat in a different area at a table for 10. On my own. And waited. I was then asked if 'd like to move to another table which already had diners.... so I did. A couple from Manchester who were absolutely lovely. We were joined by 3 ladies from Australia. Turned into a lovely meal. Not sure where I'll end up tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare NorbertsNiece Posted September 24, 2014 Author #267 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Just popped in to say am back from the very last performance ever of : It was awesome. I'm not one for cruise ship shows. I've walked out of some. This one rocked. I have sore hands from clapping. They had prop malfunctions and deviations from the script.... to be expected for a last show.... a couple of the actors just dissolved in hysterics, was very very funny and totally endearing. The singing and dancing were totally on point. Music was terrific. I sat right behind the director who was in tears at the end. He danced and bopped his way through the show and during the last number sprayed 'hairspray' around his head!! Brilliant. Kudos to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
