Friday, 8th August - Livorno, Italy

We're in Livorno today. A busy working port, so the views from the ship aren't great. Container vessels and ferries pass frequently and a huge dredger is working virtually alongside, so we're able to watch buckets full of black sludge being grappled from the depths. Ah well, makes a change from dolphins.
Chez Curran is quite nice. We have a full sized bath, a huge bed and an enormous balcony. Only one problem with the balcony - they won't allow sun loungers on it. We've been to Reception to ask, and they say they're not fire retardant, so the notorious Elf'n'Safety regs don't permit it.
Dave and I had lunch with Harold today, Julie and Dave have gone ashore to look at the town. I've just been for a manicure, and I think Adam's spent the day on a sun lounger and in the jacuzzi (though someone else may blog more detail later).
All for now - excuse spelling and typos, trying to be quick as it's pay-per-minute!
Love to all who read this
Janet
