Catch Up

Hi all

sorry we havn't reported in but we have had a few technical issues. In fact on Monday we wrote loads and just as we were about to post all the power went out on the ship which is a story we won't tell you about now but do not worry as it is now Wednesday and we are still going.

On saturday we arrived at Pisa and we had an excursion booked where we visited the leaning tower. We enjoyed looking around but we were amazed that it seemed to be in the middle of an industrial estate, After that we went to Viareggio which is a town on the beach whwre we spent some hours. danielle enjoyed looking around as she had been there on holiday last year and was happy to find the hotel and her favourite t shirt shop.

Sunday was Rome where we spent a very hot day looking around the Colleseum and the Vatican We all enjoyed this as both Nickki and Danielle wanted to see inside the colleseum and Pauline loved St peter's.

Monday was a day at sea as we crossed the med to Gibralter we spent the day relaxing by the pool, playing Bingo and eating which seems a favourite when cruising.

Gibralter was fantastic we had a tour up the rock and looked at the monkeys they were great.
We all liked Gibralter it is an amazing site.

Today Wednesday we have visited lisbon where we hired some buggy things that you stand on and they go along. We did some shopping and had lunch in the Hard Rock Cafe.

It is now 10.50pm and we are out in the Atlantic and rocking about a bit and waiting for Vigo in Northern Spain tommorrow our last stop before home.
