All was going very well until several things in my line of vision when patchy. Migraine can hit in the most annoying places and it was back to the ship for me. Pills and a dark room for a few hours helped enormously but it will be no alcohol or rich food for me tonight. Early to bed as we sail to Rome where we bid the Pride ...

Dolce fa niente
The title means "the sweetness of doing nothing" and is exactly what I am looking forward to doing in the heat of Thailand starting next week.
As it was, we were up to an indecent hour in the Idea Hotel to go and catch a train to Tuscany to meet up with one of Shelley's best friends from the cruise ship, Kerry. The train departed from Central Station at 8:10 and it took five hours to reach Livorno, from where we were being collected by ...
