As you can see in the photo above, La Rambla is a long tree-lined street. At one end is Placa Catalunya, the area where our hotel is, and Placa Colon and the stop for the Blue Bus that takes you to the port.

HERE ARE A FEW PICTURES TAKEN IN MONACO FOR YOUR VIEWING ENJOYMENT.


Do you think we could get an invitation to tea from Prince Albert?


Anyone care to go gambling with me?


I guess these guys are selected based on the musical ability and their looks.

Do you know the song, "Come Back To Sorrento"? I've been humming it to myself all day today while I read about tours being offered to Sorrento, Capri, and the Amalfi coast.

I took this picture on a sunny Sunday last October. We were riding in Francesco Marrapese's Mercedes van, through the olive groves from Positano to Sorrento. What a beautiful place. The town is closed to motor vehicle traffic on Sunday so we had the wide boulevard of the new section of town as well as the narrow back streets of the old town.

When I return to Sorrento on October 11, 2011, I will definitely buy a music box that plays "Come Back To Sorrento" and listen to it over and over when I get home.

No time for creative work yet but I've moved both the Cruisecritic Group and the tour information to links on the right. Take a look and let me know if I need to change anything. Thanks.
