YouTube Video Description

The continuation of our Mediterranean fly-cruise onboard Marella Voyager! Make sure you've caught up with part 1 before starting! In this vlog we pick up on day 4 when we arrive into Civitavecchia, Italy and head to Rome for the day! Apart from the transfer, no excursion booking here - we do things independently and our OWN way and still see lots of Rome without once taking public transport! Alas, the day ends badly with a late pick up, and in-coming storm, flooding and a total soaking from crazy torrential rain, winds and no shelter as we were all trying to find our bus! And we arrive back at the ship late too having sat on a coach for 2 hours whilst soaking wet! Dinner and drinks back on board are MUCH needed. The following day we arrive into Livorno and head to Pisa for all those fabulous leaning tower shots! A night on the liquid ensues and (multiple) dinners at the Kitchens! In part 3, out soon, we have a sea day, our 11 year wedding anniversary, Barcelona and Kora La to look forward to!
