I am so glad to be off that bloody boat! After leaving an hour late, there was apparently a stop at some port in the middle of the night that normally takes 45 minutes and ran to an hour and a half. The top car deck where our bus is, is now packed with cars and trucks. Giorgio is not happy.
Read a book and dozed most of the day. We had been told to go to the lounge area at 6pm for a 7pm disembark. This didn't happen. Finally some time after 8:30pm Italian time, we got off. We had moved down to the reception level on 7 and hung around there for a while. Then we were told to walk single file behind the crewman. We had to weave in and out of the cars and trucks, many of which had engines running. One part between two trucks was so narrow we could barely squeeze through. It would have taken a slight slip of the brakes and someone would have been squashed. The group was not impressed and Patricia was very not impressed! She has told us all to complain about the time it took and the danger involved in getting to the bus. Giorgio then had to reverse the bus down the first ramp, turn and get off the boat. We all applauded after ; he is a very very good driver.
Finally arrived at San Marino after 10pm for a very late dinner, which was superb. Luckily we have a late wakeup call, 7am, then a few hours to explore this place. Even in the night, it looks fascinating.
