A dazed day in Elba.
... simple life in Elba. From here we ventured up behind the village in little alleys paved in what looked like pink quartz, presumably hundreds of years old. 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
... it was an hour's drive to the pretty coastal town of Piombino (which very nearly means something pretty fruity in Italian), during which we were continually entertained by Giovanni, who is a cruise ship captain for Costa and very close friends with Costa's now infamous Captain Schettini. As a result, we were given some priviliged, as yet unpublished, information about the crash and the now beleagured captain Schettini which would probably be ...
