There’s not a lot more to write now. We were up at 6.30am as breakfast this morning was an hour earlier, at seven o’clock. As ever, we sat with Jerry, Gaynor, Marian, Maggie, Wolfgang and Enna. “M and M” (as we called them) had to leave before 7.30am as their flight was very early. Our…

Mr Blue Sky – Electric Light Orchestra Woke up to another gloriously sunny morning, the sunshine glittering and bouncing on the small, rippling waves as we made our way…
After a post-luncheon power nap, we woke up and went up to the sun deck, where several people were reclining on sun-loungers reading, dozing or just watching the ever-changing scenery as the Solaris glided through the calm waters. As I didn’t have any suntan lotion on, I didn’t stay out too long, and soon brought…
On the wall of cabin 15 is a fantastic photograph of the island of Hvar, blown up to poster size and showing a view, from an elevated position, over the blue, blue sea towards several smaller islands. The sky in the photograph is blue with fluffy white clouds, and seagulls (one in the foreground for…
We awoke at 6.00am to the rumble of the yacht’s engines as she put to sea once more towards our next exciting port of call. Going back to sleep, we got up at half past seven and got washed and dressed before making our way upstairs to the dining room for breakfast. As we walked…
The rumble of the Solaris‘ engines woke us at seven thirty this morning, as she moved out of her berth under the Dubrovnik bridge to head for Slano, a small village further up the coast. Captain Ante had warned us at dinner yesterday that we could expect rough seas, high winds and lots of rain,…
Woke up briefly just after 5.00am to the rumbling of the Solaris‘ engines as she put to sea once more. I had no difficulty falling asleep again, rocked by the vessel’s motion, before the alarm went off at half seven, giving us half an hour to be ready to go up for breakfast. As we…
We should have set sail from Split once again at 5.00am, but when I awoke at 7.35 and peeked through the curtained glass panel of our door, we were still in the same place as we were last night. 🙂 The sky was full of low, grey and purple clouds and a brisk wind was…
We awoke, refreshed from our nap and raring to go, and made our way to the saloon where we were to meet our English-speaking local guide for a walking tour of Split at five o’clock. While it was still cloudy, the rain had so far kept away, and we hoped it would continue that way….
When the alarm blasted our eardrums in the middle of the night – that is, 2.30am – I awoke with a start and it took a few minutes to realise we weren’t in our own bed at home. That is because we’d driven down to Gatwick Airport from Durham the day before, and were now…
