ITALY

We flew from London Gatwick to Genoa Italy. It was a good flight. It cost Euro 100 to get a taxi from the airport to Savona so instead we got the taxi (twenty one euro) to Genoa Principe train station and caught the train to Savona (ten Euro) and then the bus to our hotel. Our hotel - the NH Savona Darsena is great, it is right on the wharf and when we woke up this morning our ship - the Costa Mediterranea- was docked. The ship is huge!! Dad says it is the biggest ship he's ever sailed on and he has sailed on aircraft carriers and war ships. Last night in Savona we visited the old town, I ate gelato and Dad had an espresso longo. We practiced our Italian ( very bad) and DAD kept talking to people in Spanish ( no, no  Espanol). Any way we had dinner at 9pm and enjoyed the sunset from our balcony looking over the harbour before going to bed.
