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…
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….
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…

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,…
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.
