Cruise Lines

I've been at home a week; high time to get cruising again. So first thing Saturday my daughter and I are flying to Catania in Sicily to join Star Clippers' 170-passenger sailing ship Star Flyer.

Only problem is, while we will be there on time (hopefully!), the ship won't. It's been delayed, so we are going to have a day and night in Giardini Naxos, the port for Taormina, and will be joining it a day late, on Sunday.

We then cruise through Italy, calling at Lipari, sailing past Stromboli (fingers crossed maybe this time it will be erupting!), visiting Sorrento and the tiny ports of Ponza, Giglio, Portoferraio on Elba and Lerici (actually because of the delay one of those calls will probably have to go, but not sure which as I write this) before we fly home from Nice in France.

If I can post, I will but the ship has no wif-fi as I don't hold out much hope. So ciao ciao. I'll see you when I'm back in the UK in a week's time.
