Rhonda Bracey: At Random

Livorno is the Italian port closest to Florence, but because we’d been to Florence a couple of weeks ago, it wasn’t on our agenda for the day. In fact, I stayed on board and had a slow day while my sister went ashore to check out the town and the shops… and contribute to the Italian economy… again. It was pretty quiet on the ship as I think most people went to Pisa or Florence.

For the second night in a row our team (2 Scots, 2 Poms and 2 Aussies) tied for first place in the music trivia quiz, but got beaten in the dance-off (we’d have preferred a tie-break question!). We’ve won at least twice at music or general trivia over the past 2 weeks, and got some ship-branded prizes, such as sun visors, coffee ‘keep’ cups etc. My sister was very pleased with her sun visor and wore it often!
