As usual, we got up and 8.00am to a warm and sunny morning. The coach was due to pick us up on the dual carriageway at the back of the hotel at 9.10am, so we packed the rucksack with our towels and swimming things. In fact, I just wore my tankini with my matching sarong…
Got up at eight o’clock, which actually felt like six because of the two-hour time difference. The sun was shining brightly through the gap we had left in our curtains. We hadn’t booked any excursions or other events because we wanted to spend the day exploring the immediate vicinity, and perhaps enjoy the hotel pool….
Woke up this morning at 7.30am with the pleasant realisation that I didn’t have to go to work today. The reason? We were heading off on another holiday! Not a cruise this time; rather, a land-based trip to Paphos, Cyprus. We should have been in the Philippines right now, but our trip was cancelled, due…
We hadn’t left the Crown Hotel until two o’clock this morning as we were still on British time, enjoying another couple of drinks. Returning to room 519 we got washed and changed and into our ‘jamas, and settled down to sleep. After waking up at 4.00am and again at 6.00am, I held on until ten…
SUNDAY, 10th MARCH 2024 Woke up at 7.15 this morning and looked out of the window to a dull and wet March day. However, the weather could do nothing to dampen our excitement, as today we were setting off on yet another fabulous holiday! Yes! Today we were due to fly out to Sydney, Australia,…
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…
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…
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…
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,…
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…
