21st April Gorging on Gaudi pt1

 
Yesterday was our first day of actually having a plan. Well as much of a plan as it is ever possible to have with TOM, one that promised to be a feast of Gaudi inspired delights. First stop was Parc Guell on the north of the city, a place that is featured in the top 10 things to do in Barcelona. 

And having been there and done it our overall impression was that it was very much a poor man's Port Merrion in north Wales. Poorly signposted and with hardly any information about the various 'sights', well to the non mobile phone crew at least, yes it provided fantastic views of the city but the famous Gaudi balcony featured in all the guide books was just a mass of humanity all trying to take the perfect selfie(s). Whether or not I managed to snap anything that would grace a coffee table book is anyone's guess at this moment in time.
 
A liquid lunch later and it was time for our second helping of Gaudi for the day and a trip to the Sagrada Familia, situated under 500 yards from our AirBnB. And WOW what an experience that was!!!

6th May Olbia

  A chance to stretch our legs today with our first port of call; Olbia, Sardinia. And it was a quick stretch too due to it being only a five hour stay. Up bright and early, so early in fact that the hot food at the buffet wasn't even ready to be served. Still it gave us a chance to watch the ship glide into port past a host of oyster/mussel beds, before performing a 180 degree turn to reverse into it's berth. A couple of short bus rides later and we were in downtown Olbia. But there an hour or so before anything appeared to open, the disadvantage of being early birds and something we don't seem to learn! Not that Olbia had a great deal to see or maybe if we had done the slightest bit of planning beforehand there might have benn but we didn't. It was pleasant enough but that's about it. It was pleasant enough but nothing special, indeed we were back on the ship after just a couple of hours ashore and then managed to sleep away most of th...

7th May Naples

Image
 I'm sure I've heard the phrase 'see Naples and die' suggesting that it is perhaps not the nicest location in the Mediterranean but if it's good enough for Diego Maradona fir a few years then it's good enough for me for 10 hours. Although the millions of tax free pounds he was paid might have eased his stay. By the time we got up, washed, dressed and up to The Kitchens, the rest of the ship were already there. Compared to the Marie Celeste of yesterday it was absolutely packed, presumably with people having breakfast before heading out on 8am excursions, our excursion was simply going to be the city of Naples itself as possible trips to Vesuvius, Pompei or the Amalfi coast would have been too much / tired.  So on a day when the weather initially seemed uncertain, we jumped aboard route A for the Hop on Hop off bus and headed out into the mayhem that is the Napoli traffic where it was every van, car and scooter for the selves. I think it's bes...
