Well, today turned out to be a bit of a damp squib for me, in more ways than one. My own fault really. ☹ We got up at eight o’clock as usual, and went out onto our balcony where the sky was cloudy with patches of blue. It was only a gentle wake we could…

Got up around 7.30pm and went up to the saloon to join the others for breakfast. The sky and sea still looked turbulent and the weather hadn’t decided what it was going to do yet, but at least it was dry (for the moment!) 🙂 After a light breakfast of cornflakes, toast and marmalade, washed…

Woke up briefly just after 5.00am to the rumbling of the Solaris‘ engines as she put to sea once more. I had no difficulty falling asleep again, rocked by the vessel’s motion, before the alarm went off at half seven, giving us half an hour to be ready to go up for breakfast. As we…
We should have set sail from Split once again at 5.00am, but when I awoke at 7.35 and peeked through the curtained glass panel of our door, we were still in the same place as we were last night. 🙂 The sky was full of low, grey and purple clouds and a brisk wind was…
We awoke, refreshed from our nap and raring to go, and made our way to the saloon where we were to meet our English-speaking local guide for a walking tour of Split at five o’clock. While it was still cloudy, the rain had so far kept away, and we hoped it would continue that way….
