Port of call: Portofino

After a fantastic night’s sleep in the world’s most comfortable bed, rocking gently back and forth as the Marina sailed through the night, we arrived in Portofino.

The wisteria was in full bloom as we strolled around town,,,,

and watched locals building a bonfire for tomorrow night’s Easter celebration in the square.

This is the place where the rich and famous come to vacation and shop….

I thought maybe Oprah was here for a minute….

Then, it was back to the ship to assume the traditional holiday position on the private deck of the Canyon Ranch Spa . (And, yes, I am, in fact, the palest person aboard the Marina. There’s no contest, really.)  Ciao, ciao!
