and my friend decided he wanted to go up in the funicular again to see if we could see MSC BELLISSIMA at the cruise terminal; we were soon walking along Via Balbi to the funicular and enjoying another trip up to Righi. We could see the ship, but the bare-branch trees hid some of our view.

Snowy mountains in the distance


MSC Bellissima barely visible


We returned to the hotel, collected our luggage and our friendly local taxi driver took us to the Cruise Terminal.

More ships


Even more ships


And a few more ships


I enjoyed looking at some of the large pictures in the building and we were soon through the checking-in procedures and heading on board this huge ship.
