Naples our last port

So we adjourn to our little watery balcony with a gin and tonic in hand watching over the ancient city of Naples with Mount Vesuvius off to our right. It's 7pm and the ship is preparing to set sail from our last port with the soft sounds of the engines starting up again. From our vantage point we can see the swirling waters as our huge floating hotel drift out away with ease from the dock. The sun is slowly setting to our left behind the city with it many domed top buildings and the skyline dotted with umbrella topped pine trees that you see so often in Italy. Another great day of sightseeing, adventures and memories are firmly under our belts.

You are probley saying these guys are alway on the balcony and on the booze... Well we are on holidays after-all ... So after this cruise we will give our livers a rest till our next cruise!!
Our little secret down-low bar we have nicely stock for this cruise from some duty free that we picked up in Dubai. So how did you manage to get it on board past security you may very well ask...Well when we arrived into Fontain del Pappa we had 2 empty 500ml water bottles that perfectly holds 1L of duty free Gin, looks like water to me! Also remember the 2 750ml metallic containers, well they hold the 1L Midori. As for the Kahlua it came in a square gift box and with the present paper that we bought with us we warped it up, put a bow on it and it made the journey undetected as a present onto the ship inside our suitcases. So with one bar well stocked and available on our little balcony ready for our afternoon drinkies....So Aussie in Italy....

On board they have complementary lime drinks that goes super well will with a nice splash of Midori. The other day I went up to the pool deck grabbed a couple of soft serve ice creams and that goes perfectly with some Kahlua so just like a adult Sunday. We got some tonic to go with the gin and as it was so hot reaching into the mid 30's today it was onto the balcony gin and tonic with some Sicilian olives that we picked up in Naples today a prefect match.
So it's back to the view that we have come so accustom to and that we just can't seam to take our eyes off. This it what we have done every afternoon as we sit back glass in hand and watch over another culture as the boat drifts off into the sunset.
