Boats in Brač
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…
Exploring Korčula
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 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.

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…
