The Cruise - Friday- Sardinia


 I have two words to describe Sardinia: graffiti and purple trees.  Both found in abundance in the gritty ancient port town of Calglieri. 

Great coffee tho

The Cruise- Sunday - Monte Carlo!

Monte Carlo- Casino Royale- Yachts, Casinos, shopping, Royalty and wealth    oMG this city had some serious high rollers! Yachts, insane cars and shopping for the Uber wealthy.  Bob and I joined the morning walking tour, saw the Prince’s Palace, enjoyed the splendid views from a seaside park on the bluff and then went back to the boat to change for the Casino Royale!!    Well, sadly I didn’t bring my passport so no entry for me- Bob popped in while I browsed the shops.  $100 poorer in 45 minutes we grabbed an outside table at the Hotel du Paris in the square and people watched and I was introduced to my new favorite drink- the Chandon Spring spritz. Coming to a Stef party near you. Casino! Hotel du Paris with Casino in background Headed back…can you see out ship behind us? So great we were able to see the city at night!  Scrabble followed by a little community puzzle work…

The Cruise- Thursday- Corsica

 After a rough night at sea we slept thru our 8 am tour and woke almost at noon.  Hopped off the ship and grabbed a quick lunch in the port area at a lovely French restaurant (mole et frites and lasagna) before  boarding next to a massive Virgin cruise ship for a 2:30 departure.   Sorry Napoleon-  we missed seeing your birthplace  We continued the scrabble tournament (5-4. Amy) and then to reading on the back of the ship under a blanket as we steamed thru the beautiful Med passing lovely islands and enjoying a little tea and cake.  Room service and movie Otto and in bed by 9:30!    Quiet day!  Sadly no photos.  Xo
