Around the Western Mediterranean in 8 noisy days
Having been around the world three years ago in 103 days on the magnificent but now sadly defunct Cunard QE2, I was not too too excited by the thought of 8 days around the Western Mediterranean on a big brash modern Italian cruise ship - but I was asked ...
Genoa + the STUNNING Cinque Terra

A Very Italian Job
