This time, instead of the hop on hop off bus, we got a taxi with a driver who spoke English. We found him near the sculpture of the fishing net that brought to mind the Sardinia fishermen. And the breakers behind He started driving the same route as the ho-ho bus so we asked him to vary the routine. He took us by a church with a statue of a priest and a naked lady - and a bird market for a Sunday afternoon. And then past city hall, the major theater, and the famo...

We had a VERY rocky night and it continued through the afternoon. We had a minimal breakfast then a seminar on the art of collecting art. While we were learning, the ship's employees were decorating the atrium for Christmas. A quick lunch by the pool with water sloshing port and starboard due to the tossing seas, then back to the art auction where artwork was also being tossed around.

After the market the driver took us to Delft, a very charming city. We arrived to find a farmers ma...

Back to the cabin when I fell asleep while watching the Fast and Furious in Brazil. Woke up for the ending and more CNN, MSNBC and CNBC. Dinner - more than half the ship emptied today and the dining room was so empty.. Then after dinner we heard a singer who came on the ship former one night to cover Nat ...
