Picconi Does Laundry On The Liberty!!




Pics:

Views from the street ~ Via Cristoforo Columbo in Positano.....You can see the sun deck for Hotel Marincanto.

Positano's Central Drop for the Bus (bus stop) and also Trams ~ You could walk down Cristoforo Columbo to get down to the beautiful cove of Positano.

Interior Shot of Hotel Marincanto's Lobby.....Thank You Hotel Marincanto for allowing me to take this pic!!

Pic of the cove from the place I ate my lunch (quickly, as it was going to take me another 3 hours to get back to the boat, docked in Napoli).....View is from Hotel Marincanto's patio...

Today was a day at sea.....we past Greece, but the clouds near Greece were covering it...Darnit! I got up early and had my first "Spin" class. It seemed so invigorating and by 30 minutes into it, I was like, I feel like I’m doing a Marathon! Needless to say, I got very wet, and I could feel the sweat just pouring out of my glands....good, eh? I told the class that I was happy I had already done my weight workout for the day (biceps and lats) ~ although glutton for punishment, I went back to the gym around 4pm today to do more (LOL), because I wouldn’t have been able to get it in after that Spin class.

After that, had a great, healthy breakfast, one egg omelet with Onions, tomatoes a teensy bit of cheese and lots of sides of sausage and bacon. Two pieces of toast with butter (real) and lots of fruit....even stole some fruit, well not really stole, but filled a bowl with fruit for my room and that reminds me, I will have to eat that for my midnight snack tonight, if I wake up with the urge.
Spent the afternoon in the sun, just enjoying it as much as you can imagine. There’s something magical about a day at sea for me on cruises.....
Tonight is formal night and I’m dressed all in black and watching people walk by mostly dressed up, but some still casual. I have mixed feelings about going to the dinner but still have time, since I’m on late dinner (830PM)...I’ll decide later!
So, two days in the cruise, I’m totally enjoying it, getting into the swing and I tell you, if I could do this once every couple of months I’d love it! Maybe not for 12 days in a row, but you know what I mean.
I am going to be working on my pics now that I took of the ship today...oops, forgot my little card from my camera...guess I won’t be doing that right now.
It was interesting people watching the last few days.....it’s been enlightening on a number of levels. I’ve elevated my level of: 1) Enjoy each moment as it’s happening 2) Don’t make judgements on situations or about people before you’ve even spoken with them (not that I do, am just surprised at how some people do) 3) There’s always time for exercise.....and finally, 4) I can do my laundry on this ship!! LOL Thought the fourth and third one actually would be a bit comedic. Maybe I’m a bit punchy tonight....so maybe I shouldn’t go to dinner.
We’ll see. Going to try to check my e’s now....it’s 10am your time this morning right now....lol Our day is already dark...and yours is barely started.....I’ll be back soon enough though.
Oh, while doing laundry, I noticed my Leonardo Da Vinci shirt that I bought when I didn’t have my luggage in Rome for the first night, shrunk...hopefully it’ll still fit and glad it’s not white....
bye for now.
