Sunday
The less said about yesterday the better! As Julie has already mentioned, bad weather prevented us from docking at Naples, and so we missed the trip to Pompeii which we’d been looking forward to for months. So – once again – we spent much of the day in the cabin, this time watching the rolling seas and enormous waves, much more like the Atlantic than the Mediterranean.
The choice of entertainment last night was somewhat limited as new artistes were due to embark at Naples, so instead of the advertised Ventriloquist (honestly!) we went to one of the bars where we listened – reluctantly at first – to an amazing Hungarian 5 piece band. Piano, two violins, double bass, and accordion! They were wonderful, and we all agreed that Harold would have loved to have been there. Cheers H., we’ve been thinking of you and hope you’re having a wonderful time in Montegnegro
Monday
This morning we awoke to clear blue skies and a glorious view from our window. We are in Ajaccio, Corsica, and have had a wonderful day. The four of us met for breakfast in one of the formal dining rooms, and then left the ship to explore the town. We sat on the beach for a while, Dave C* even venturing into the sea for a paddle, then wandered through the streets looking at the shops and marvelling at the number of pharmacies that one small town can support! Found a nice cafe/bar overlooking the bay, and ordered ‘quatre bieres’, which were so refreshing that we decided to stay there for lunch and another quatre.
It’s late afternoon and we’re about to sail away. The sun is still shining, so we hope that the next few days will bring more decent weather and happy times to blog about!
