Well, we had a great day in Monaco. Visited the palace, the Oceanographic Museum, walked by the casino and wandered around Monte Carlo. The event at the museum was nice, but a bit overwhelming. Lots of fish! But, it was an Oceanographic Museum. We took a tour of the palace in Monaco, and David was not pleased with the 35 steps that he had to walk up. It was worth it though. Mostly for the portrait of the Princess Grace and Prince Ranier and Family. It was very interesting, and reminded me of some family photos that I have seen that are kind of embarrassing. It was painted in 1981 and is very much of its time and you realize how so much of the art of the 80’s will not survive to be classic.
David liked Monaco best of all our visits, but mine is still Nice. Well, to be honest, David says it is a tie between Monaco and Cannes. I don’t think Cannes makes the cut. We sailed in the evening, and David slept while I went to the show for the evening. It was Broadway themed, so right up my alley. It is kind of strange going to something like this alone, but as luck would have it, a single lady was sitting in front of me. At a certain point, she turned around to me and asked after each song “what show this one is from?” I told her – A Chorus Line, Chicago, West Side Story, Evita and Les Mis. One of the strange things about this cruise is that our cruise director has insinuated himself into many of the performances onboard. I almost typed his bio in the daily newsletter a few days back, but spared you. It was quite humorous, but will let you know that he had a song that was #12 on the UK gospel charts. So, when he was singing “This is the moment” I jumped the gun and tapped her on the shoulder and said, “This is from Jekyll & Hyde and probably nobody in the audience knows what show this one is from, and that is a good thing.” She asked, “Was it that bad?”

After Monaco, we arrived in Livorno where we were docked for two days and I was worried about what we were going to do, so yesterday, we got off the ship and fate intervened. There were car rental companies on the dock, and within 20 minutes, we were driving on the Autostrade headed for Florence. Yesterday, we spent a while in Florence and then headed to San Giminiano and a really incredible drive through the Tuscan countryside. What a beautiful day. This morning, we got up, had breakfast and then a drive down the coast and to another Tuscan hill town. Volterra was like San Giminiano, but less tourist ridden and as beautiful, and maybe more so. The views from Volterra were incredible. Then another drive through the countryside on our way to Lucca. Lucca looked lovely, but we just did a drive by because there was some sort of festival going on that looked like a cross between a renaissance festival and comic con. Since returning, I found out that is was Lucca’s annual comics festival. The crowds were CRAZY and we were just glad that we didn’t hit the traffic that we saw as we were leaving. There were cars stopped on the highway for miles heading into Lucca. Then, on the way back to the ship, we saw, from a distance, the leaning tower of Pisa. I can now check that off the list!
Now, the last night on the ship, and tomorrow night we are back in Paris, so the entries will be more regular! Also, sorry there are no pictures, but we were having such a good time looking that we didn’t take the time to take pictures. Selfish, I know.
