                    <description>Day 49Arrived in Singapore right on time  0600 after a long flight from Roma. The seats on this flight felt like ones from an old Dash 8 plane  hard and bloody uncomfortable so sleep was in bits.Decided to walk from T2 to T3 at Changi airport for those who know Changing this is a reasonable walk. Problem was my directional calculator was a bit off and we ended up walking to the end of T2 then </description>

It was also used as a prison for one of the popes who was captured by the invading troops from somewhere or other and</description>

Wondered down to the Tiber river and walked along that. Not as nice as the other capital city rivers we have seen but still had some interesting parts. As we walked along the banks there was a camp under a bridge with about 5 people and 3 very large dogs. They were fi</description>

                    <description>Day 37A lazy day today. Wake and do breakfast yes food again but when it is included and you get choices of fresh meats cheeses freshly picked cherries or apricots it39s hard to knock back.......Decide to just visit the township of San Gimignano.

They communicated by sign l</description>

The boat is waiting and we get told that as the seas are still a bit rough the boats can only go to Portevenere and then Monterosso. The other 4 CT stops are out of action.No problem we still get to see these towns which are hung precariously of the cliffs. A fascinating sight with the terraces going almost v</description>
