Hello From London!
We finally made it to London. Our flight was 2 hours late leaving Barcelona because of high winds in London. Winds were 150kms an hour but were down to 85kms by the time we landed. I guess I am glad we waited because I thought it was a very bumpy landing and don't think I would have liked any higher winds.
Tonight we are both having a bath (finally) since our cabin on the ship only had a shower and we are both bath people.
Tomorrow we will hit the big city again for more sightseeing.
We fly home on Monday - and we are both ready!

Sea Day #3
I woke around 8am and went up and had coffee outside in the sun. Another sunny day and 17C.
The birthday girl got up at 9:30. We went up to the free cruise draw (which we didn't win) and then went for lunch. We had a pretty relaxing day.
We went and had a birthday drink at the bar in bar city at 2pm.
We went to Lisa & Boyd's cabin for a before dinner drink with the Taskers at 5pm and then we all went to the Grand Pacific Dining Room for dinner at 5:30. For dessert Wayne had bought Carleigh a yummy cake with strawberries in the middle which the wait staff brought to the table and sang Happy Birthday to her.
After dinner we literally ran to the theater to watch the comedy show at 7:30 and then back to Lisa & Boyd's after the show. Back to the cabin by 9pm.
Tomorrow we plan a leisurely breakfast and hope to be one of the last off the ship.

Rome
We woke at 7:15am today. We were going into Rome by ourselves today. The Taskers wanted to be off the ship by 7am but that is too early for us since we are on vacation.
It was another sunny day today but only 14C. We had a quick breakfast and were off the ship by 8:40 but we missed the train to Rome so we had to wait at the station for the 9:41 train. We arrived in Rome at 10:54. We walked to the hop on bus (at the opposite end of the station which took about 10 minutes)
We had a nice but chilly ride on the bus seeing all the major sites of Rome. We got off at Trevi Fountain and then walked to the Pantheon. We walked back to Trevi Fountain and stopped at a pizza place for real Italian pizza (sausage) which was really good. We got back on the bus and went back to the termini to catch the train. We caught the 2:39 train back to Civitavecchia. We had a short but sweet visit to Roma!
We walked around for a little while once we got off the train. I wanted to be back by sunset which was 4:50 and we were back on board at 4:30pm.
We went to the early show “Smokey Joe's Cafe” We sailed at 8pm while we were in the show. We also went to the late show which was a farewell show put on by the staff and crew. We then headed up to the buffet for the Chocoholic Buffet – YUM!
Tomorrow is our final full day on board the Jade and Carleigh's birthday!!
