Got up this morning at eight o’clock and took my time in the power shower, letting the powerful jets of warm water wake me up and wash away yesterday’s grime. I shampooed and blow-dried my hair, then finished getting ready before going down to breakfast. Our other five fellow travellers were there as well; Jane…

Wandering around Waterfalls
We were up at half-six this morning, feeling quite sad that tonight would be our last night in Croatia. How the time had flown! We had to meet our driver in reception at 8.00am, hence the early start. We enjoyed a good breakfast once again, then returned to room 511 to collect our essentials for…
The Splendour of Split
Got up at eight o’clock and made use of the power shower in the large bathroom, enjoying the feel of the powerful water spray on the skin and hair. Freshly showered, shampooed and into clean clothes, we went down to the hotel restaurant; the other five were already there and, once again, we regaled each…
The Spirit of Herzegovina
We were up at 6.30 prompt this morning, and I went out onto the balcony to look at our wonderful view for the last time. We’d had a really enjoyable stay here, but today we’d be moving on to explore some more exciting locations. 🙂 In the hotel restaurant we sat with Jane and Kath,…
A Day Out in Dubrovnik
We got up around 7.30am and I went out onto our fabulous balcony to drink in the perfect view on what was already a cloudless and warm day. Our plan was to take a taxi into Dubrovnik to walk the wall and, after seeing the crowds and feeling the heat yesterday, we figured it would…
On the Road to Dubrovnik
We had to be up at 6.30 this morning in order to have our breakfast and pack up our suitcases and be ready to meet our driver in reception at eight o’clock. Today we were due to travel to Dubrovnik, and our itinerary showed us that there were lots of things to see and do…
Beautiful Budva
After an excellent night’s sleep, we got up at 6.30am and got washed and dressed and ready for the day ahead. A quick look out on our Juliet balcony let us see that the sky was blue and cloudless and the air was warm, even at this early hour. We enjoyed a full and varied…
Manchester to Montenegro
Dear readers, you will no doubt be surprised to see another holiday blog entry so soon after the last one, and indeed it is a record for us to be taking another trip only a fortnight after we came back from the last one! But we are certainly not complaining, and we are surely making…
Bus around Barcelona
Had a bit of a lie-in this morning, as neither of us slept particularly well last night. Not only was the room fairly noisy (despite the ear-plugs) but it was warmer than we like it. So we didn’t get up until around 8.30am, and went out onto the tiny balcony for a vertiginous view of…
Beautiful Barcelona
Got up this morning at 7.00am as we needed to vacate cabin 6062 by eight. Going out onto our balcony for the last time, we could see we were already docked in the beautiful city of Barcelona. We were pleased to be back here; it had been over 20 years since our last visit, and…
