A Tour by Tuk Tuk

Posted on June 18, 2022July 7, 2022 by bollingerbabe

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

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…

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…

Forget About the Price Tag

Posted on January 20, 2014April 9, 2022 by bollingerbabe

We have started to take our Malarone prophylaxis tablets as, once we arrive in West Africa, we will be in a malaria zone. Today, however, would see another leisurely sea day before we reach terra firma tomorrow morning. The weather was sunny and warm, just what we’d been waiting for (we are, after all, now…

Leaving in Leith

Posted on May 28, 2012April 21, 2022 by bollingerbabe

We had to be up early this morning to disembark the Marco Polo.  When we looked out of our window, we could see the ship making her way slowly into Leith, the cruise terminal which acts as the gateway to Edinburgh, capital of Scotland.  We could see the Royal Yacht Britannia at her permanent mooring nearby. We…

Staying Cool in Ullapool

Posted on May 26, 2012July 7, 2022 by bollingerbabe

The Marco Polo dropped anchor this morning in Loch Broom, upon the shores of which is located the picturesque little village of Ullapool.  We had not booked any excursions today, deciding instead to explore the village ourselves at leisure. When we went down to breakfast the day already showed signs of being another scorcher without a…
