Livourno and Cagliari

Sept 15th and 16th
Livourno and Cagliari

The 15th was kind of really lame. I had signed up for a really great tour of Florence, but found out a couples days before that we were to have a change of schedule and I’d have a rehearsal that day. Well, the rehearsal didn’t allow me to get in on my tour, and I didn’t feel I had enough time to make the trip on my own, so I spent the day on the ship. I guess I needed the break though, I had had a busy past few days. We were playing a new show that night, this one with one of the singers on the ship, Cheryl. I don’t know why she’s starting to do shows now, but it went well enough, just not the most fun and made me lose out on Florence. Hopefully, this won’t happen again next time I’m back in 2 weeks.
Cagliari, our Sunday port. I signed up for a tour here that took me to the archeological site of Nora, and 4th century BC city, or something to that extent. It was a good tour and really interesting seeing these ruins and hearing the history behind them. We were shown how the different civilizations built/rebuilt/destroyed the area, and getting so close to all that history was really a unique experience. I had a good time grabbing pics and walking around, and eventually came back to the ship for a big band set that evening. Otherwise, that’s about all. Sea day coming up, then Malaga! Seeya
