We had made a decision about a week before to take a quicker route to Bordeaux (where we had organised to meet the Jones in early June) by taking a ship from Civitavecchia (port near Rome) to Barcelona in Spain.
The ship was a cross between a giant car ferry and a cruise ship! We boarded in the evening driving our camper on board along with loads of other cars, motorbikes and trucks! We had booked a junior suite cabin with an outside window (about 3 x the size of the camper so absolute luxury for us!). We had great fun exploring the boat before departure – swimming pool, several restaurants, lounge bar, casino, disco, shops, gymnasium and wellness centre (spa). Wow it was very cool!
Molly's entry
We went on a large ship to Spain. There were lots of things to do on the ship and we were very excited. There was a pool on the top deck! We had fun exploring around the boat and I bought a croissant for breakfast and it was delicious. We slept in cabin number 8063. It was like a hotel room. We slept in bunk beds. When I woke up I looked out the window and there was only sea. The sea was very calm and the sun was shining.
Kate’s entry
On Friday in the afternoon- evening we drove to our ship to Spain. Mum and Dad spotted a castle right on the beach so we stretched our legs and took a walk. We walked around one corner of the castle .There were some small rocks you could walk on and of course I walked on them. We got back in the camper and drove down to our ship. Molly and I were very excited because we had never been on a ship this big!!!
