After Livorno

We have left Livorno and are on our way to Genoa. When it's dark our thoughts turn to dinner and a show or vice-versa.

Tonight's show is a very good ventriloquist who delights the crowd from beginning to end. Very funny!





Then on to dinner starting with a Caesar salad


I'm thinking this is salmon?


A sorbet between courses


 Roast pork with mashed potatoes and broccoli



Another satisfying meal and as we again have to be up early next morning to go on a long excursion of 8 hours or so to Cinque Terre, it's time for an early(ish) night to get some sleep.

Early next morning while it is still dark I set off on my usual trek to get coffee and watch the ship come into Genoa harbor.


No other passengers are around as I wait for an elevator to the buffet for coffee


At each elevator is a sign showing what is on each floor


Genoa harbor is ablaze with lights


I have the pool deck all to myself at this hour


The Tradewinds bar where I usually sit during the day


As in Livorno a tug arrives to help us to the dock





There's a large oil drilling ship docked





Next to her in a dry dock is the sad remains of the once beautiful Costa Concordia, being dismantled






We will dock beside this building



Soon I have to return to our cabin for breakfast and pick up our tickets for our excursion by bus to Manarola to begin our Cinque Terre visit. It will take us 90 minutes to get there.


Join us on our tour!
