    Day 9

    GOOD MORNING ITALY 🇮🇹

    Welcome to Genoa Italy 🇮🇹, this morning is a little overcast and it looks like we are in for rain ☔️ today. That should be good for us boarding our ship. We aren’t due to leave our motel until 12:00 today and embark at around 1:00pm. So it is a slow start just ensuring we have everything sorted and all the paperwork complete. We had a lovely breakfast, so a good start to the day. Will let you now how things go with the boarding.
