Headed back to the shuttle bus stop the long way.

I had just come through the banking district. This name tickled my fancy.







I was now back at the shuttle stop. Unfortunately just missed one and had to wait half an hour. An amusing incident as the bus was about to leave. A couple came to the bus and asked if it could wait while they went off to the WC. The woman was possibly an influencer as when off the ship wore a white pants suit and had a Fendi bag which she made sure had the logo showing whenever she had her photo taken. The guide at the bus stop obviously told the driver what they had said and his reply was immediately understood. "Non e speciale" and immediately took off.

Got back just in time to have lunch at Kaiseki and went with sashimi only.


That night it was a special show as well as the crew parade following. Now Queen are probably my favourite band so I usually don't miss that show. This time however this group were the best of any of the Queen shows and deservedly got a long standing ovation.

Might have been Lancia. There were several of them. But the one red sports car I had no idea so It is the one I took a photo of the badge. Still no idea what t was.

After the show it was back to Atlantide. The days specials.

My wine. Very nice drinking wine.


And the food. We both started with the beef tartare.


I then had the spaghetti aglio olio as an intermediate dish which I enjoyed.


Mrsdrron then had the salmon special and I had the steak Rossini. We both enjoyed our meals.

The next morning we anchored off Portofino.



Then a tender ride into town.

 

[drron]

Lots of gull. I got one who had caught something




The ducks must have had a late night.

5 groups then boarded a large ferry to visit Chiavari and Santa Margherita. The Moon at anchor.

[drron]

Now a walk in Chiavari. Most of it was free time.

 

[drron]

Several statues for Resistance fighters in WW2.
