Cruising #4

Day 4 - Port of call was Cannes, France

The ship didn't exactly dock at a port...we had to take the tender in, which was basically the life boat in to the dock. It was completely enclosed and completely interesting.

 A little unsure...

Our ship

 A bus, a train and then the top of the mountain

Look at the clouds through the mountains!

 A perfume factory!

Joe was so excited to see some "French-men" enjoying a little bocce ball

Joe officially enjoying the beach :) 

Back on the ship, we had a nice dinner at the steakhouse on board...it was a Brazilian steakhouse where they brought the meat around on sticks...so neat!

Cruising - #3

Day 3 was an amazing day. I think it was, by far, my favorite.

Citta di Lucca. Joe had been here on a previous trip and was really excited to take me there. It was just as intriguing as he said it would be! A small city, surrounded by concrete walls. You parked outside in a lot and walked through the entire city. Or you rented bicycles and just had a fun ride!

 Passing through the mountains and near Pisa...see the leaning tower there in the middle of the picture??

 The wall surrounding the city - such a fortress!

 You were able to ride around the city on top of the wall! It was like a huge road!

 There was a huge tower in the city that you could climb to the top and a little courtyard where you could see around the entire city.

 Overlooking the city

 A small restaurant in an alley that we had an amazing Italian lunch

A field of sunflowers!

After leaving Lucca, we headed back towards the port but on our way, we stopped at Pisa to get a couple pictures of the "Leaning Tower"

 Dinner!!
