Wandering around Waterfalls

Posted on June 17, 2022June 30, 2022 by bollingerbabe

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

Posted on June 16, 2022June 30, 2022 by bollingerbabe

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.

A Day Out in Dubrovnik

Posted on June 14, 2022June 23, 2022 by bollingerbabe

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…

Beautiful Budva

Posted on June 12, 2022July 7, 2022 by bollingerbabe

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…

The weather was bright and fine when we looked out on our balcony this morning; hopefully there’d be no more rain for the remainder of our cruise.  The Queen Victoria had recently docked in the port of Dubrovnik.  We’d last been here in 2003 on the Norwegian Crown, so were happy to be back in this magical walled…

When we woke up this morning, the Queen Victoria was docked in another maiden port, that of Rijeka, Croatia.  Rijeka is the country’s principal sea port, located on the Kvarner Bay.  It is Croatia’s third largest city after Zagreb and Split.  Because of Rijeka’s strategic position and deep waters, the port was historically significant, formerly…
