Travel

As part of our tour we walked around the city some between underground stops including a stop for a snack and drinks.

Beautiful morning as we entered the port for Cagliari today.

Dinner tonight was Extra Virgin.  Selections included the braised mini meatballs, burrata cheese, cacio e pepe, corn tortellini, new york strips, and for dessert, chocolate olive oil cake and ricotta bombolini.

Lunch today was at The Pizza Place.  Selected pies were Pepperoni and Pretty Fly for a White Pie.

Followed by a stop at Lick Me Till Ice Cream where Julie tried the green machine - kiwi, avacado, and green apple ice cream. I, however, opted for the Key Lime Pie instead.

Pictures of the limestone tunnels used as bombing shelter.  These were beneath a local school.

Crypt of Saint Restituta

Toured the underground pieces of Cabgliari including an excavated ancient Roman City, a natural cave that has been used as a church and also bomb shelter during WWII as well as another set of tunnels that were used in WWII as bomb shelters for the people of the city.

The Test Kitchen is the most unique restaurant on the ship. it's an "experimental" style with a set menu of 5 courses (used to be 6 courses) and each has a unique flare.

Julie's options were - Gazpacho, Egg Yolk/Caviar (with no egg yolk), Asparagus and Hazelnut, Beef Tenderloin, and Chocolate dessert

Dennis's menu was - Mushroom, Egg Yolk/Caviar, Scallops & Ham, Venison Tenderloin, and Chocolate dessert

Lunch was at the Galley today.  Nothing fancy, a nice salad for Julie and a pastrami on rye for dennis followed by an alaskan roll and of course, dessert.

Desserts were a pistachio macaron, a peach tart, a tropical cheesecake, and a chocolate-cherry cake.

Not much happening today, it was a lazy day letting our feet recover from the nearly 38,000 steps over the last two days in Rome!  A quick picture from our balcony this morning.
