The receptionist showed concern at the amount of luggage I was going to put into the lift, "only put one bag in at a time" she said, I don't have that much time I thought as I carefully stacked it into the lift. DL was already at the bottom with some luggage with which the hotel owner was giving him a hand. The "driver" was awaiting outside to take us to the ship and seemed keen to depart. As we drew closer to the ship the sun seemed to great us, the skies getting clearer and bluer. The ship looked resplendent lined up with five others in the dock waiting for us to board. Celebrity Equinox, the Oceana Marina, Regent, the Queen Victoria and another. The sun was very warm and the skies were blue, we ... read more

The alarm went off just in time to ready oneself for the delivery of the breakfast tray to the room. It all sounds a bit ridiculous but I assure you although not quite so picturesque as that, it was true, although prepackaged jam, butter and yogurt is not quite what is conjured in your mind. We set off on the metro for a journey to Saint John Lateran next to the walls of Rome, a vast five aisled basilica, well worth a visit (see pictures). Then we walked the 30 minutes to see Santa Marie Maggiore (see pictures). This was a bit of a pilgrimage as this amazing building owes its restoration to a man who was born and brought up in Bridgend. We the wondered towards the Pantheon (see pictures) to find a place for ... read more

Up at 6:15am so an early start to our day of travelling. After David-Lloyd had breakfast in bed the butler ran a hot shower for him to drain the tank! Hendricks (the dog) covered his eyes with a paw when I turned on the light telling me it's too early even for him. 6:35am and the car is packed and we're ready to go..... Traffic to the airport (Bristol) was fine, no queues which meant more time for shopping! DL's has been in the duty free buying all sorts... I was resting after doing justice to a full cooked English breakfast. Just like being in work so far! Lol. The flight was fine, on time as you'd hope. The journey to the hotel in private Mercedes transfer was fast... The driver having had lessons from the ... read more
