Day Seven – Scicily
Author: admin
Up early this morning for the walk a mile but the guy didn’t turn up for our ship shape dollars so that was a waste of time! Hottest day so far and very sticky, couldn’t even sit on the pool deck for more that 30minutes or so.
Palermo is, unfortunately, another built up industrial port. We took a wander into the city and found one or two nice buildings to look at but most of it is ugly with lots of people badgering you for taxi or horse drawn carriage rides.. There also seems to be dog muck everywhere, but bizzarely hardly any dogs. Once we got off the beaten track (we followed Cathy’s directional instinct) we found a nice bay area with a park. We could see a beach, but it was a few miles walk away. The ship looked quite close from where we were, but it took about 40minutes to get back in the baking heat, so this afternoon was just chilling out and snoozing 🙂
Entered the pub quiz with two of our American friends and scored a pitiful 8 out of 20.. Luckily everyone else was marginally thicker than us and we won! We are now the proud owners of his and hers matching royal Caribbean luggage tags!!!
The show tonight was songs and dances from films, but it was all films from the 1920s so it was a bit boring. We won a few quid in the casino, but put it all straight back in 🙁
When we got back to the room we found some FREE hats.. They will go well with the tags and make us the envy of all our friends!
