Virtual cruise from Venice along the river Po with the option to learn some Italian

I'm sure it's fine for threads to meander, rule wise.
I find it strange that people would want to constantly come into a thread to talk about their own preferences and complain that others aren't keen on it being taken over.
Particularly when it is always to a thread that one particular person has started.

Not this again.

Oh you naughty woman!

Well, cruising looks fun. I’ve never fancied it in real life, and this thread’s confirmed that!

Shirley48, cruising is brilliant, but largely depending upon your co sailors all wanting to share similar experiences or cordially agreeing on trying new adventures. Lol

Quite so Baggy and I'm hoping that StarDreamer will be back shortly to start guiding us to the beginning of the cruise; the last one he conducted was excellent. Such a shame when petty squabbling spoils things for everyone.

Andiamo.
Or there's no point my racing across France today to meet up tomorrow.
I want Maw and Lucca to stay for their in depth knowledge of the language, and the Arts, I'm happy for Stardreamer to navigate and to research places, someone to take on the meteorology might be helpful too. I have a reputation for good dining and would be more than happy to offer choices and research restaurants, but not exclusively vegan, to accommodate all the voyagers. Hoping someone will also enjoy designer shopping with me too. Is Milan on the route? ? ? ? ?

Il punto è chesiamo tutti diversi.

And to think I didn't know one word last week. ??

che siamo

Joseanne asks Is Milan on the route?

The river Po does not go to Milan. However, the journey can include Milan as an overland side trip using a coach, provided locally.

The cruise is likely to be characterised by overland side trips as a number of interesting places are not next to the river Po.

I caught up with this thread in the early hours.
I must say that I’m shocked at the amount of deletions.
Some of the posts were a bit over the top, maybe a bit daft, but hardly worthy of deletion.
I didn’t realise that posts could be deleted for ‘derailment’.

I’d better be quiet, I suppose ?

Ma che diamine

Does one Duolingo learning lesson each day meet general approval?

If so, should it begin on Saturday in Venice, or should it begin on Monday as the cruise ship begins its journey from Venice towards the mouth of the river Po, or something else?

After the first Duolingo "circle" (what is the correct parlance?) of learning lessons is complete then revision exercises lessons will become available, which can optionally be done, and if done can be done either all at once or bit by bit later, returning to reinforce earlier learning after the learning lessons of other "circles" have been completed.

Participation in learning some Italian using Duolingo is entirely optional, however I hope that people will try at least the first lesson if they feel they can please as that does not need registration.

Can we have tacit agreement that the ambience is non-Argy please, as it is mixed company, and anyway not everyone wants Argy humour. The river Main virtual cruise was non-Argy.

Excuse the pun, StarDreamer, but I think that that ship may have sailed

If we could have a bit of a wander around over the weekend, before starting the cruise on Monday, that would be great. I'm happy with the non Argy ambience too!

Your participation is welcome Fanny as you are always delightful and kind.

I hope you will try to join in the language learning too please.
