Things I have learnt on my cruise part 1

·      There is a lot of sea

·      Corsica is French and is very pretty

·      Majorca looks nice from a distance

·      Italian drivers aren’t as bad as I thought

·      In countries like Spain and Italy, lane markings are just a guide for those who want to use them

·      Monaco is a big town, of which Monte Carlo is a small area

·      When people hear a Scottish accent they want to talk to the owner of it

·      Everyone in Europe has either been to Scotland or knows someone who has, and they think you want to know about all their Scottish connections

·      The new P&O cruise ship will be called Britannia

·      Rome is smaller than I thought

·      Monaco is very pleasant, but don’t even think of buying things there

·      The castle in Cartagena looks quite ugly from below, but very pretty when you get to it, and has lovely views over the bay

·      Temperatures of 27 degrees in September are very pleasant

·      The Mediterranean is hot

·      Carnival cruise ships are very big and very loud and you should never book a cruise on one of them

·      Some people have been on a lot of cruises
