Italy 2014


 You might think this is an ordinary holiday scene but there is a slight difference to any holiday I've ever been on. Style of ship is one.....

THE ROYAL CLIPPER

Yes, this is the ship Rosanne and Frank went on for a few days in Italy. Not content with sunbathing our daughter decides to go one better and do a bit of climbing. Nothing wrong with that, you might think!!!

I had permission to show some photos on the blog








How brave is that... and I never knew she was a daredevil!

Good on ya, Rosanne, we're so proud of you.

  1. I am not sure if I would get the high up. The first movement of the ship and I would be hugging the ladder.

  3. First of all that ship looks amazing. Wouldn't mind spending my Italy vacation like that! And then of course the brave Rosanne. Kudos to her for making the climb! :)

  5. Hi Mersad. The ship is amazing. We have admired clipper ships in that area before ... albeit from afar!

    You said it, Valerie! How brave your daughter is. And I was thinking that when I saw the photos of her climbing because I don't think I could ever do that myself - YIKES!

    Gorgeous photographs of the ship. It's stunning!

    Thanks for sharing. Really enjoyed! Have a lovely weekend, dear lady.

    X to you and Joe!

  10. Brian, would you really have a go? How brave you are,or should I say fearless.

    Ranita. I'm definitely with you. No WAY would you get me up there.

  11. Ron, even with a harness I wouldn't set foot on the first bit of rope... no, sir! I would spend a lot of time admiring the ship, though. Well, you know me and boats haha

  13. BC, I'm impressed. Even though I am okay with heights I could never have done that.

  14. That's awesome and that ship is quite impressive. I'm not sure if I would be as brave as your daughter. Thanks for sharing Val.

  15. One of my fellow climbers was a 71 year old American lady from LA.. Much braver than me. Key to success was don't look down, concentrate on hands and feet placement. Strangely coming down was easier!

  16. Rosanne, there's hope for me yet, then!!!

  17. A magnificent clipper of the tall ship class and a daring sailor daughter climbing to the top of the mast..... Wow!

  18. That's a proper holiday, you're right! I would have never climbed up so high. :-) How brave!
