Today, our good
intentions of catching the train into Rome were thwarted by the May Day Bank
Holiday. There was a Sunday service on the trains, and with a much reduced
number of trains to catch, we wouldn't have had much of a safety margin if our
particular train had been cancelled or had problems (which has happened to us
in the past).
So, rather than
rushing to catch a train into Rome, and then immediately start to worry about
catching a train back, we decided to cut our losses, and stay in Civitavecchia.
As anyone who has been to Civitavecchia knows, there isn't much to this port
town even when the shops are open; but, on a Bank Holiday, there was even less
to do!
So, we restricted our
activities to walking along its seafront promenade, having a coffee, and
looking for photo opportunities. As you can imagine, this didn't take too long,
but at least it gave us time to start on our packing back onboard ship. When
you've been away for 4 months, you've accumulated a lot of stuff that needs
sorting out. I hope it all fits in our luggage.....
