It was a great feeling when we came off the ship and he was standing there as promised with our names on his little sign, we walked through the crowd of unorganised ship goers tussling for cabs and with in seconds we are away on our next adventure in our big black people mover with dark tinted windows.
Coming through customs well that was a real eye opener, the limits on booze into Italy from the ship is huge, normally on flights it is between 2 to 4 Litres and this depends on the country. Coming into Italy from the ship there are massive limits if you are an Italian residence and we could not believe our eyes so had to take a picture of the sign. They can bring in 10 litres sprits over 22% or 20 litres under 22% or 60 litres Spumante or 90 litres wine or 110 litres beer and they call us piss pots. Also 800 cigarets or 400 mini cigars or 200 cigars big cigars or 1kg tobacco, well that explains the smoky air!!!!
For non residence it only 1L or 2L or 4L or 6L or 16L respectively but as our suit cases are still on the heavy side until we offload some presents we won't stop for more duty free. Besides we still have enough in the down-low bar to make its way onto the next cruise in a couple of weeks.
