In Monterosso

In Monterosso

After a rough start (Clyde came down with a severe sore throat just before we left the USA), our cruise is underway.

Today, we're in Cinque Terra, doing a whirlwind tour of the five seaside towns. It's a pre-packaged excursion — one of the many Royal Caribbean sells on this cruise. The area is beautiful … but the pace is a bit of a death march! It would be better to pick one town and do it well than march us through all five in a day.

Still, this is a much nicer way to spend a Monday than, say, stuffed in a corporate cube! And, with Clyde recovering (he's been himself for the first time in days today), things are getting better and better.

Few check-ins this trip, and fewer photos, since the boat people charge sixty-five cents per minute — and have a system that doesn't work with iPads and iPhones. ("Internet Explorer only!" What is this — 1999?)

Have a great week. Know that, wherever we are, we're having a good, strong drink on your behalf.
