      Amazing Times. Memories Made.

      October 5, 2023 in Italy ⋅ 🌙 22 °C

      Docked in Genoa and disembarked. One final train journey for our flight home from Milan. Lovely friendships made on this final cruise leg of our trip. Overnight in Milan before departing with 5 kilos extra luggage (=€250 $396 ouch)
      2.5 hr delay leaving Milan after truck would not disconnect from the plane after we were all boarded and buckled in, then 12.5 hrs to Singapore, 10 minute dash to flight to Brisbane that was held up 1/2 hour for us, then 7hrs to Brisbane. Turkish Delight purchased in Istanbul, and cheese and relishes from Denmark safely through Australian Customs, so we can enjoy in the days to come.
      Our dinner neighbours, Carol and Khalil from Maryborough, and our waiters Gin, Loka and Naz from Indonesia. Thanks for making the cruise a fun adventure. Making memories for a lifetime. Our best trip so far.

      NAPLES, ITALY
      More known for its pizza than its princely past, Naples boasts a long history and stunning seaside setting. The city has long been a major center of Italian culture and was the seat of a powerful independent kingdom for 500 years. So great was its sway, that it lured the region's finest architects and artists. Its former might is on grand display in the official buildings around the Piazza del Plebiscito, the grand and sweeping public square. Here, the San Francesco di Paola Church flaunts a colonnaded facade reminiscent of the Parthenon in Rome, and the Royal Palace overlooks Neapolitans much as it did centuries ago, with statues of all the kings of Naples peering out from alcoves.Read more

      CIVITAVECCHIA (ROME), ITALY
      More than 2,500 years of history live in the streets of Rome. For centuries, the city ruled much of Europe, building a vast empire from the power of emperors. Ancient structures recall those heady days when the cheers of 80,000 spectators roared from the Colosseum, citizens mingled in the Forum and senators asked the gods for guidance in the Pantheon. Along with the Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica, this rich pocket of Italy is one of the world's greatest repositories of history and civilization. Today, Rome is a remarkable blend of ancient and modern. Vespa's whiz past ancient treasures; Renaissance fountains overlook streets lined with designer shops. Even today's papacy weighs ancient traditions against a modern world.Read more
