Say it with me. “Civitaveccia.” Just about 20 miles south, it is essentially the port for Rome. Since we spent the four days before the cruise in Rome, we decided to go on a tour of the Tuscan countryside.
We visited Tarqania, Marta and Tuscania. All three places were a very nice change of pace. Everything was very casual and everybody was very friendly. Our guide had spent quite a bit of time in these villages while growing up, so we ended up going to very private and out of the way places that had amazing views.
Overall, it was a very nice, but long day. When we got back to the ship, we went and saw Ratatouille – the new Pixar movie. It’s very fun and there is something a bit special about seeing a first-run movie in the big theater on the ship. Too bad Transformers is not a Disney film.
