Sooo….I stayed on the boat again today. It wasn’t originally planned, but after yesterdays walk about my back started acting up.
It kept cramping yesterday during our walk, then again several
times that night. Slept like crap and had to keep getting up to stretch the
back. Plus the right shin started cramping about 2am. I felt like I was one big
ball of cramps.
When I got up, the back didn’t feel much better. I knew then
I wasn’t going to go. I debated back and forth but since tomorrow is Pompeii I
really wanted to be ready for that. So I stayed behind. I’ve been to Messina,
in fact, the excursion we had today was the one we did last year, so I figured
I wasn’t missing much. Sherrie went though.
I definitely made the right call. I stayed and iced and stretched and iced and stretched. It feels immensely better tonight.
Sherrie went and had a good time, but came back pretty sore.
Her neck has been outta whack for several days and today put her over the edge.
When she got back she ate lunch and then we went straight to the spa to see if
she could get a massage. They took her right away. She feels way better now, so
it was worth it. She also decided to cancel the Florence and Pisa excursion on
Friday. It’s a 10 hour excursion and she just didn’t think she could with her
neck being like it is. So we’ll both spend the day on the boat doing nothing.
It sounds glorious!
My day was rather boring really. I shuffled up to breakfast and then stopped at Starbucks on the way back to the room. Then I just lazed around the room. I turned on the TV in time to watch The Nickel Boys. What a terrible movie. The book was fantastic, the movie was terrible.
Tomorrow, as I said, is Pompeii. I’m a bit anxious about getting
there on time to make our tour, but I’m sure it’ll be fine. It’s just me being
paranoid again.
