Boarding the ship

We did a little last minute shopping in venice. Will definitely need to return as there were so many things we didn't see or do. We had booked a water taxi to take all ten of us, plus luggage, to the port at 11. Expensive but the best way to do it wiall the cobblestones and bridges.
The embarkation was smooth as it is an older and smaller ship. Lunch then safety drill at 4pm. Sail away at 5pm. The weather thankfully held while we left port but a light rain started. During dinner there was a great deal of thunder and lightning and I think it may have rained most of the night. The after dinner show was Paul and John, a small Beatles act and they were quite good. After that was off 2 bed for me as I feel a cold coming on. Den looked for the sauna but it was closed by then.Read more
