October 4,2023 found us docked in Split, Croatia. I hope that I’ve conveyed just how much we loved our time in Croatia. The coast line is beautiful, the folks are lovely and we benefited from the knowledge of four wonderful guides. We met our Split guide, VJ, after a late breakfast…right outside the port gate....

October 3,2023 One of the reasons we choose this itinerary was the opportunity to visit Dubrovnik twice. Although we were here a mere ten days ago…it seems like a long time has passed. The weather on this day was as perfect as we could have hoped for. We enjoyed breakfast on the veranda and then...

September 25,2023 We sailed into the port of Olbia, Sardina to blue skies and some cool ferries. We cancelled our winery tour and stayed on board. I’m sorry to have missed Sardinia, but we’ve realized that we just do not have the stamina for day after day touring…and we do love sea days. We slept...
