Italy Trip: Day Eight - Out to Sea

Finally a day without a destination! Our tired feet and bodies were happy to relax as our ship cruised the Mediterranean.


Perusing the ship activities for our day onboard, we started out with painting t-shirts. Inspired by our recent Barcelona adventures, we each channeled our inner Gaudi for our designs.


Brigham left to explore different parts of the ship while Mom and I spent a good amount of time people watching at the pasta demonstrations. Tired of lines at this point, we opted out on the chaos and watched from a safe distance above.

We played a few card games, walked the track and enjoyed the view of the water and sunshine, Brigham and I took a ballroom class together, and then we ate.

Boy did we eat.


This ravioli dish was one of the best pastas I ate on our trip. Pork with goat cheese ravioli. Divine.


Steak with potatoes and duck.


Tandori chicken and roast lamb.


We each ordered two desserts. No shame.

That evening was Gala Night on the ship so we went to dinner dressed up and sparkly.



The servers performed for us and we clapped and twirled our napkins as they danced. Then the waiters went around and danced with those seated at their tables. I danced with our waiter before Brigham stepped in and took over so Mom could get a turn.

Later that night Brigham and I enjoyed a spectacular show of acrobatics in the theater while Mom took her throbbing shoulder to rest up for our next, and final, day of excursions.

A nice, relaxing day to recharge so we could pack more in on the morrow.
