He probably won’t come out from under our bed till I beg him with kitty treats 😸

Good morning Civi!! Had bfast in the MDR then got our stuff and rolled off the ship. Told to exit then walk around the side of the terminal for the port bus that I had tickets for through Trenitalia. I showed my tickets on my phone to the driver and we boarded. Bye bye Pride❣️🛳️

[ninjacat123]

Bus was busy and not much room for luggage. Got to train station and was informed the train I had a ticket for wasn’t on schedule but I could use it for the next one. We took the elevator to the platform.

[ninjacat123]

Then it was announced that our train was on another platform. Took the elevator back and got seats. Seats are not assigned on this train (regional? Local?) and we used the seats next to us for our luggage.

We disembark tomorrow and spend the night in Rome with our Italian gmama. Then fly out Sunday early afternoon. Monday will be hard on Craig 😬

Awe, your Italian gmama - i feel like I know and love her 💕 💗 She's going to provide you guys with a great welcome home😎

I thought of you @ninjacat123 when I saw this kitty at the Colosseum

We can access our room at noon. Time for a snack and an Apérol spritz (for me, it’s 5 o clock somewhere 🤣) and a cappuccino for Craig❣️

[ninjacat123]

Checked into our room. Different room than before, twice the size of our last room here but no balcony 😔

We started out with making the tiramisu since it needs to chill. Craig was in charge of adding beaten eggs whites to beaten egg yolks. I dolloped marscapone into the egg yolks. Go Team!!

[ninjacat123]

We moved on to pasta. I tried but it takes a lot of muscle. 

[ninjacat123]

Final product!! Lunch with some lovely ladies from the Jersey Islands!

[ninjacat123]

Walked back to our BnB and stopped at Giolitti for gelato. Long line but we were through in 15 minutes

Decided to have a drink at a wine bar we hadn’t checked out.
