(Itinerary from Royal Princess)

Newport
|
In the 19th century, Newport was America's Versailles. It was here that the great merchant princes and robber barons
of the Gilded Age erected the elaborate summerhouses they so ingenuously dubbed "cottages." At the height of its splendor,
a Newport season was a giddy whirl of grand fêtes, yacht races and elaborate beach picnics for assorted Vanderbilts,
Astors and Morgans. Today, it is the privileged traveler who marvels at the splendor of great mansions like The Breakers,
The Elms, or Rosecliff. Gone are the days when "Tessie" Oelrichs, one of Newport's fabled hostesses,
had 12 skeleton ships anchored offshore and dramatically lit for her legendary "White Ball."

Cliff Walk
|
Stroll along a picturesque mile and a quarter of Newport's famous Cliff Walk,
the path between the rocky coastline and the "backyards" of many of Bellevue Avenue's palatial cottages.

昨天大概 Harvard Square 路走多了，
今天早上感覺左膝蓋有點痛，不敢冒然參加原本計劃要去的 Cliff Walk，很覺遺憾。
我留在船上休息，聿罇和大家去 Cliff Walk 了，
