Yoriko and I had planned to skip this excursion and stay on or near the ship. But the ship moored away from any sites (interesting or otherwise) so along we went. The bus ride for me was just as sleep-inducing as it had been two years ago. Yoriko found some nice souvenirs at our “Comfort Stop”.
Our friends really enjoyed the city. Our tour guide did point out some spots that we hadn’t seen before, so it was a more pleasurable day than last time. An art museum (no photos) and Roman bridge. The “Cafe Break” in a hotel conference room at the end of the tour was still terribly disappointing compared to the many cafes dotting the streets.
In the evening the ship had a Music Trivia contest. Our friends chose to skip it, so it was just Yoriko and I. I named our team “Kenichi’s Crew”. At the last minute a couple came in and joined us. Against all expectations, we won! Part of the answers required participation, wherein Yoriko danced to “YMCA.”
Several street sculptures depicting various past events. Our tour guide and her lollipop is explaining. 
The Shell Palace. Odd, since we’re nowhere near and ocean. Note various windows designs. 
The frog on the skull on the left is famous. Once considered a bad omen, university students have converted it to good luck. 
This cathedral ceiling is so pretty . . . 
. . . I’m showing it twice. 
Very old Roman bridge. 
Very new art.
