Nice was nice but the people weren't. After missing our stop on the train, we couldn't find a friendly French soul to direct us the right direction. We missed the shopping, Cannes and the pastries. Fortunately, we were able to end the day on a good note with drinks, crepes and a server who insisted on referring to me as "The Princess".
Following our adventure in Nice we were a little hesistant about what would await us in Florence the following day. Well, it was the complete opposite experience. We hopped on a bus headed to Cinque Terre and spent the day exploring, learning, eating and shopping. Protected by UNESCO, the locals have farmed the grapevines on these hillsides for generations.
I must say I would give my vote to the Italian Riveria any day! They still had topless beaches, boys but the locals were much more pleasant. And they are known for their Limoncello and esto so I was instantly in love.Today found us wandering the ancient streets of Roma...visiting the Vatican, St. Peter's Basilica, Trevi Fountain, etc.
Tomorrow is we hit up the shores of Naples and head on a excursion for wine and olive oil tasting in Sorrento trailed by a visit to the ruins of Pompeii before taking a day at sea. You wouldn't guess it but all this traveling around is exhausting!I will work harder at being a better blogger and keep you all informed on the Carol & Michelle Celebrity Cruise Show.
P.S. I am realizing after posting this that the pics up aren't the best of the collection. Iphoto isn't very user-friendly and doesn't display every pic in my portfolio. This leaves me selecting blindly and after a couple margaritas I don't really have the patience to go back and edit. Please now that I have way better ones and will update them when time permits (aka at home)

Looks like you're having quite the adventure. Thanks for sharing!
P.S. It might have been the margaritas, not iPhoto that was causing your pain... :)
