Day 206: Portofino, Italy. Ferry to a bus to a train to Cinque Terre region - beautiful costal towns for the rich and famous / tons of tourists, too. #UltimateWorldCruise
Day 205: Carrara, Italy. Hop on train to Pisa then to Florence. Met with wifeβs cousins for lunch - crazy crowds at Academia so punted on the real David and saw replica instead - Italy in summer is a nightmare. #bitcoin #UltimateWorldCruise
Day 204: Civitavecchia, Italy - closest cruise ships can get to Rome (5 parked outside today). Bussed in - hit the mandatory fountains, steps, and piazzas - (Trevi off/being cleaned / Navona boarded up), Pantheon, Forum, and Colosseum - all packed with tourists and steamy hot as hell (no time for Vatican City or much else). #UltimateWorldCruise
Day 203: Naples, Italy. After the mandatory βshellβ merchant visit, we sweat our way through Pompeii before returning to the city for lunch and the scene. #UltimateWorldCruise
Day 202: Siracusa, Sicily, Italy. Archeological Park, Catacombs of St. Lucia, Madonna delle Lacrime, (Sanctuary of Maryβs tears), Temple of Apollo, then a delicious lunch. #UltimateWorldCruise
Day 201: Valletta, Malta. The walled city was established in the 1500s by the Knights of St. John, a Roman Catholic order. Itβs known for museums, palaces, statues, grand churches, shops, and restaurants. #UltimateWorldCruise
