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. 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

Posted on June 15, 2022July 19, 2022 by bollingerbabe

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

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…

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

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…

Manchester to Montenegro

Posted on June 11, 2022June 20, 2022 by bollingerbabe

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

Posted on May 27, 2022June 6, 2022 by bollingerbabe

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

Posted on May 26, 2022August 26, 2022 by bollingerbabe

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…

Ha’way the Lads in Livorno

Posted on May 23, 2022June 1, 2022 by bollingerbabe

After the frenetic activities of the last couple of days, it was nice to be able to put the alarm on “snooze” this morning, and it was at the relatively late time of 8.25am when we got up and went out onto our balcony to greet the new day. 🙂 After the usual substantial breakfast…
