There’s not a lot more to write now. We were up at 6.30am as breakfast this morning was an hour earlier, at seven o’clock. As ever, we sat with Jerry, Gaynor, Marian, Maggie, Wolfgang and Enna. “M and M” (as we called them) had to leave before 7.30am as their flight was very early. Our…

Strolling around Split
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….
Travelling to Trogir
When the alarm blasted our eardrums in the middle of the night – that is, 2.30am – I awoke with a start and it took a few minutes to realise we weren’t in our own bed at home. That is because we’d driven down to Gatwick Airport from Durham the day before, and were now…
A Tour by Tuk Tuk
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
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
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
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,…
Split – the Difference :-)
We got up around eight o’clock as usual, and eagerly went out onto our balcony to look around. The Queen Victoria was just about ready to dock in the port of Split, Croatia. Split is Croatia’s second largest city after Zagreb, the capital. It was originally a trading post established by Greek settlers and is…
