Today’s report is on the
Katy here. Olbia was probably the most boring tour I’ve been on so far, and by the looks of it, I wasn’t the only one. My mom and I slept on most of the drive to the ferry that would take us to La Maddalena. We didn’t miss much from the tour guide Robert. All he seemed to be doing was pointing out granite and various plant life. He even got all excited about a heron - big deal. We see those all the time in
Anywhos… after reaching La Maddalena, we got a free gelato. We met some people from Mobile, Alabama who let us cut in front of them in line because Mom just HAD to go to the restroom before getting in line for the gelato, and by the time we got back, the line was super long. Afterwards we wandered about a little, and the parents then decided that they wanted ANOTHER gelato (Crazy peoples). There was nothing very exciting about the walk around the shops and such. So we got back on the ferry and then back on the bus. On the way back to the port, we watched a couple of the little informational video things that the Disney Cruise had done about our next port,
Jeff here. Actually, Katy pretty much covered it. The tour wasn’t bad but it wasn’t particularly memorable either. I did find it interesting that Sardinians don't have a trespass law.

Dinner was in Lumieres and it was fantastic. Whatever problems Disney might have had in their kitchen have definitely been worked out. The service is excellent and the quality and presentation of the food has been top notch. We turned in after dinner knowing we’d have to get up early for our 7:45 am departure on our private tour of

Katy! I did not like that tour either! Get some rest so the tour of Rome will be better!!
Love you, Granny
Hi Jeff!
To answer your question...NO...no one is reading this blog. I've been visiting it hundreds of times a day just to get your counter up and make you feel better (slow week) :-)))
Sounds like you're having a great time. The pictures are awesome. I'm jealous.
See if you can meet my friend Carol Beason and tell her hi for me and that the heat and humidity of Houston awaits her return.
Have fun!!!!!!
Hi Katy, you did a great job, and very truthful. Waiting to hear from you again.
Love Marilyn & Danny
