TheCaveman Posted September 3, 2011 Author #26 Share Posted September 3, 2011 The picture below, we were heading to the "plaza" below left in the picture Stunning views We saw these 2 nuns, sitting on a bench, as they do, and, it was quite amusing seeing the naked woman statue next to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCaveman Posted September 3, 2011 Author #31 Share Posted September 3, 2011 One thing I liked, well for me anyway it was a cool idea, we went to a shop to get some water, and, on she shelfs, they had a little electronic display, showing the price. There are a few of them in a row, bit blurry.... After that we came back to yacht port and head for the Monte Carlo tunnel towards casino. Got there eventually and place was magnificent, crowdy, but still nice. And what would Monaco be without loads of these ? ? ? ? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCaveman Posted September 3, 2011 Author #40 Share Posted September 3, 2011 We had a few more beers, and decided to go to Cucina Del Capitano for dinner. Boris from Slovenia was our waiter – Great funny Guy, but looked like Russian and sound like Russian, probarly tasted Russian too, if you know what I mean. Anyway, food was good, not great, a bit too much for us. Portions, especially breaded chicken was massive. But overall it was a lovely place and for $10 per person it’s a bargain. Hmmm, I had no idea what I wanted.... So, a piece of bread with butter will do Our view from the table As you could see, place was packed, good thing we had reservations....

TheCaveman Posted September 3, 2011 Author #41 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Starters arrived Meatballs Calamari Breadded Chicken No Idea how you pronounce this dish, came highly recommended by Boris. Well, lets just say, I only ate 25% of it Desserts came next.... Apple Something Tiramiso, well, they called it that, not me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCaveman Posted September 3, 2011 Author #42 Share Posted September 3, 2011 After dinner, we went to play mini golf. It was great fun, and I won by 1 stroke.. The GF lost, and my price for winning was, she would do the dishes the rest of the week…. Hang on…. Some random picks to follow: After Mini golf, we went to our cabin, did I mention our cabin was on Lido deck, it was sooooooo handy, as you could be there and back in few minutes.... Ok, so, we found this guy there, maybee he was cleaning out cabin, as we have not yet met our cadin steward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCaveman Posted September 3, 2011 Author #45 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Some movie on big screen And we are off, on our wat to Savona So, we ended up in the Showtime theatre, where they had some quiz game They ask a question, you have to buzz if you know the awnser. Somehow, i volenteered I am in front, this is easy.... Well, if you are American / Canadian, it will be easy, I did not win, but did not come last either. So, they felt sorry for me, and gave me a medal on a string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzie_daz Posted September 3, 2011 #46 Share Posted September 3, 2011 great Review so far looks like u had a great time! and loving the photos. on a side note glad to see someone is drinking Fosters. You'd be hard pressed to find an Australian drinking it :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCaveman Posted September 3, 2011 Author #47 Share Posted September 3, 2011 After that, we played a game of Bingo, and had great seats to the Welcome aboard Show. And we met again the Great Hype, Cruise Director, or is it Dictator…. Extraordinaire…. John Heald…. Well, let me just say this; he is great, and very funny. He had the whole audience in stitches laughing, well; those who understand English, but, obviously not the ones who were talking non stop through the show, or the screaming baby. I were wondering, if that baby were screaming as it was 10:30pm, past her bedtime, as she was really young, or she just did not find John Funny? ? ? Yabadabadoooo – well, you just had to bee there to understand this one…. Again, went to our room, place was spotless, with cute animal, but, still did not meet our room steward. Ok, this is where i sign off for tonight, back tomorrow. So, there is what you can look forward to Savona Rome - and, a message to all parents, you dont want to miss this. What is the worst thing that can go wrong on a vacation abroad ? Naples Messina Dobrovnick, Croatia a Sea Day, yay... Venice 3 more sea days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCaveman Posted September 4, 2011 Author #49 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Day 3 - Savona. Italy So, as this cruise was port intensive and not many options for a beach day, we planned it for today. We got up, we were not hungry, and as we docked right in the middle of town, we got off the ship for a walk around. We walked through the nice, old looking, narrow streets. I had to be drinking to much, as i started seeing towl animals everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCaveman Posted September 4, 2011 Author #50 Share Posted September 4, 2011 We found this nice littel church: Entrance Courtyard then we walked across the street to the museum. From the looks of it, this place used to bo some kind of fort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
