We took the countryside tour, rather than go into Rome, as we were there last year and wanted to see something a little different. It was also quite relaxing, which is the buzzword for this trip. We docked at Civitavecchia, or the old fortress which as it happens was designed by my buddy Michelangelo. That dude is everywhere…
A short bus ride brought us to a working farm that plied us with wine and olive oil, after the briefest and most perfunctory educational presentations. No one really minded this, as there was wine and olive oil, and bread, tomatoes, etc. We got the web site, so there can be importing of the family’s wine, which we enjoyed. A further short bus ride got us to Tosacania, a medieval village with absolutely fabulous vistas. It was just what we were looking for.
Back on the ship, in the dining room, we were treated to desert and a photocopied card of congratulations from the Captain on our honeymoon. They sang, everyone cooed and it was generally a fine time for all. We did sort of upset one woman at the table, as I think she may have been recently widowed. We both felt a little bad, but what could we do? We were then going to wait for the late comic show, but the band on prior, Odyssea, was so bad that we had to bolt. The band that played at our wedding could do quite well on a gig like this if they ever wanted a vacation.
