Med Trip - June 5

After breakfast, we left our Trastevere apartment. I had bought bus tickets yesterday to take the bus back to Roma termini station, but this morning, while checking the internet, I discovered that we could avoid taking the bus, which was always crowded and an unpleasant experience, and catch the train we needed from a main station i n Trastevere. We decided to forego the bus, since the tickets were open and could be used when we return to Rome, and walked about 25 minutes to get to this station. The fare to get to Civitavecchia was only 4.70 euros and the train was a modern train, like those in other parts of Europe. It took just over an hour to get there, plus a 5 km. taxi ride to the ship. Boarding went smoothly and quickly and we were in our cabins by 1:30.
We had lunch, which did not consist of pasta or pizza and relaxed the rest of the afternoon. We met up with my sister T and her friend in the dining room soon after arriving for lunch. After dinner, a few of us went to a lounge that had duelling pianos. The two musicians played 50's, 70's and a few modern hits and were quite good. Our travel day, usually unpleasant, went quite well.
