Venice
The last stop was Venice for two days before heading home. Venice was flooding throughout our time here which was really interesting to see firsthand. We had great Italian food, went to St Mark’s Square and the waterfront, and generally just enjoyed just wandering through the maze of alleys of Venice. We visited what is […]

Off the ship and on to Venice!
It was finally time to pack up and head off the ship for Venice. But before we Venice, we planned a tour of the Postojna Caves in Slovenia. It was only about an hour away and didn’t disappoint. The caves were massive. To tour them you start with an underground railroad into the cavern. Then […]

Split, Croatia (and Krka National Park)
In Split we rented a car and ventured out to a national park and see the waterfalls. It took about an hour to get there and the drive was pretty easy. Then we walked around and saw some amazing scenery. We’d hoped to swim at the base of the falls, but they recently banned that, […]

Hvar was a day to relax. Our friends had family here that they wanted to visit, so they arranged a private speedboat to take them to a nearby island to visit for the day. Kenzie and I decided it would be a good day to take a quick look around town and then head back […]

Dubrovnik, Croatia!!!
Wow, what a place! The medieval walled city was amazing! We started by walking along the top of the old city walls which gave us some incredible views. Game of Thrones was filmed here apparently (I have not seen the show yet, but I’ll have to watch it) and there were lots of references here. […]

Santorini
Our second stop was Santorini. This was a really cool place! The town is built on the top of the cliffs, and there are a few ways to reach the top from shore. A gondola (with a line that was forever), hiking up (not appealing in 100 degree heat), or taking a donkey. We decided […]

First Port – Mykonos
After having the night to settle in, our morning brought the first stop in the Greek Islands. Myknoso. We used the ship tenders to get to shore, and then after walking through town and the tourist shops, found a bus to take us to another part of the island with a nice beach. It has […]
