OK. It is day 2 of the honeymoon and today we’re boarding the MSC Lyrica. Of course being the technogeek I am, the first thing I did when I got on board was to get hooked into WiFi and test connection speeds. It turns out the ship’s internet is provided by a British provider. As you’d expect, connection speeds on a ship are quite slow. Here’s what we are getting:
So what new observations have I made today? Here we go…
- It seems Civitavecchia beaches have no sand.
- Restaurants, including pizzerias do NOT open until 5 or even 6 PM. Europeans eat late!
- I haven’t seen a morbidly obese person yet. OK. I saw one, but I’m not sure she was Italian.
- The Hotel Borgo Del Mare (formerly the Hotel Bramante) where we stayed overnight, serves the best damn cappuccino I’ve ever had!
- Jess forgot all her tennis/comfortable walking shoes and I forgot my shades. They do NOT sell tennies on the ship. High heels and flip flops here we go. As for shades… starting at 90 Euro, I think I’ll just squint.
OK, photo time…
Cheers
