Mooning around the Mediterranean

A huge gum tree.

A pretty little town with hardly anyone out and about on a Sunday. When I got back to our meeting point outside of the Cathedral it had just opened so I got a couple of photos inside.

 

Time to walk back to our ferry and head for Santa Margherita.

Looks like a cable car ride to the seaside property.

Now of the ferry for our walk around Santa Margherita. As our guide, who was a little lady, was giving us the time and place for meeting a few young Italian men dressed in leather jackets aggressively pushed their way through the group shouting loudly. Our guide turned to them and loudly replied -F U too. Well done.

None,  we are on the Moon for 54 days,  he can't afford an apartment and a cruise 😁😁

Although there were some nice apartments a few that I passed that were for rent were simply awful.

Santa Margherita was far more crowded.

 

Fortunately I was advised to go into the Cathedral first. Mass had just finished.

A fellow now walked through the church saying -closed, closed and herded us outside.

Nice spargel.

 

And the pebble beach.

[drron29]

Now it's back on the ferry to Portofino.

 

[drron29]

 

Yacht races.

 

Now they told us we had to go by ferry as tour busses couldn't get into Portofino.

Hmmmmm.

Portofino was just too crowded when we got back there so I caught the first tender back to the ship.

 

Back on th ship and the yachts were still going.

 

Then up to the pizza place. I had a calzone and Rojaan again her porcini mushroom pizza.

Now time for the gym after the carb fest 😁

[drron29]

Back to Atlantide and the days specials.

 

Picked up a mistake in the menu.

 

South Atlantic Islands even if they are owned by the French hardly qualify as Mediterranean.

Now the wines.

 

WE BOTH HAD THE SALMON CARPACCIO WHICH WAS EXCELLENT.

 

For the next course I had the baked leek which was very nice.

 

For mains I had the miso glazed cod which was beautifully cooked and Rojaan once again the lobster.

 

Declined desserts again.

The next day we were in Citavecchia. We decided to stay on the ship on a changeover day. Thankfully all the children left.

 

At 1100 I took the shuttle into town.

Followed the old walls close to the main street.
