We got to sleep in again today, and then tendered ashore to La Spezia. We had some time to walk around and do some shopping before our excursion to Pisa. We took a bus and then a little train right up to the wall surrounding the city of Pisa. We really enjoyed walking around the city, and Jasmine picked up a little statue of the tower to add to her statue collection. We climbed the tower, yep ALL the way to the top. It was a weird feeling, because we could feel the lean in the tower as we were going up. The view was definitely worth the climb! Afterwards we walked over to a little sweet shop where we were given platefuls of Italian cookies and chocolates to sample. And when they mentioned that there was also gelato available, who could resist? It was all included in our tour, but to be honest I would’ve preferred more time in the city.
We got back to the ship late, but after a quick dinner up on deck we made it to the family nightclub just in time to get picked for Mickey Mania!! We were the Donalds and had to wear some Donald Duck hats. There were four teams, and the Goofy’s prevailed. It was fun playing though. After Mickey Mania we hurried over to the theater to see the crew talent show. It was awesome! They also had a Dancing with the Officers segment, and one of our friends had been chosen to participate in it. She did a great job!
We are in Marseilles tomorrow with an early tour. We’re going to a soap factory to see how French soap is made.
