Cruise Day 3 - June 5 - Portofino
After a couple of busy days we slept in and almost missed breakfast. Had to rush to get breakfast because today is a tender port, the ship does not dock so a couple of the ship’s life rafts are used to ferry us to and from shore.
After a little waiting in line, each tender can only hold 120 people and there are over 2000 of us on board, we were on our way to Portofino.
We made the 500m hike up to Castello Brown - Punto panoramico su Portofino e il Golfo del Tigullio on the water side of the castle. 185 stone steps, but whose counting, with mostly cobbles or stone making up the path.
Excellent views of the town of Portofino, the surrounding countryside, and the port itself.
We walked back down to the port on the other side of the Castello. Much better condition in most spots but there were several rough staircases.
Back on the ship we settled in by the pool with some Mojitos.
This led to more Mojitos, and more Mojitos, and…
Mojitos!
Took a break for supper in the main dining room and then more Mojitos, it is vacation! The Mojitos kept flowing all night, we lost count.
Wandered the ship for a while, took in some trivia, saw the production cast masked dancers, and then danced to The Waves Band in the Reflections Lounge.
