Some more company visits this week - an inbound visit from Masterfoods - better known perhaps as Mars Corporation elsewhere in the world - who spent a very informative 2 hours talking with us about the promotion of cat food. Not my thing really, but certainly the cat lovers in the room were enthralled!
And an outbound visit with Fincantieri, shipbuilders extraordinaire! If Elan build boats, Fincantieri build floating hotels. The new boat we went to see was one of the Princess Lines boats - due to set sail in 10 days for Greece before heading off to the Carribean.
It was an amazing construction - at one point we were almost 70 metres above the sea. To be honest, it was a bit over the top for my taste, but I think it is fair to say that there is something for everyone on board - Indian art next to fake star ceilings, a casino and micro brewery alongside a mini golf range (on deck! what happens when the wind gets up? we wondered whether the balls were on bungy cords, just in case!)
