Corfu Town

 Today we were going shopping with the chef but when we turned up the annoying Greek South African was there and he is a bad entertainer and he was being loud so we decided to go to town by ourselves. We missed the shuttle so walked into town and didn’t recognise anywhere until we got to the old fort and then we realised we had been here earlier this year and checked out marks and spencer!

Anywhere had a lovely walk then came back and sat in the retreat until trivia which thankfully we won today…thanks to me and Keith ‘owing lots of answers!!

Photos when I can 

Kotor

 So as we had been to Kotor twice this year we thought we would do a trip to another town in Montenegro. Had a nice drive along the coast to St Stefan’s which is the hotel in all the pictures of Montenegro, so you will recognise it. We then walked round the old city of Budva, we walked the wall around the city and then wandered the streets before heading back to the ship. Pleasant place and less tourists.

Trivia came second again it was very hard today, then in the vending we went to have the French menu again as we prefer that on formal night.

Photos to follow

Vodice

We tendered into the port today it was a very small town but pleasant to walk around and so many boats that were worth a lot of money. Apologies for no photos but I will have to add the, when I get home as it takes an age and sometimes, in fact more often than not, does not work.

New trivia team today and Keith and I would have got the same points if we had played on our own

Venice Italy

 Today we were up early to get the first water shuttle into Venice. We have to dock now at Fusina which is 40 minutes by water taxi from Venice. We walked around for a couple of hours before we came back to the ship. The fog had cleared but it was still cool even with the sun shining. We have been lucky with the weather.

Came back on board and had to unpack as we had had to change rooms. Lots of new people again and our final week!












Zadar Croatia

 Now this was an absolutely wonderful surprise as it was such a lovely place. Unfortunately another ship had got our docking space so we were parked at a ferry terminal and had to get the bus in to the town. Lovely town very clean and the sea organ which played music from the waves was lovely and very soothing.










Dubrovnik

 An absolutely lovely city. We got the shuttle from the ship early and walked around and got lost went off the main streets to where the locals live. Really like the city but it was very crowded by the time we got the shuttle back to the ship.

Brindisi Italy

 Yesterday was a day at sea and the photos I will post later show two of the marvellous cocktails they do on board.

Today we went for a lovely long walk round the town of Brindisi which is a very very clean town, pavements being swept and hoovered and washed. Lots of lovely buildings a real delight.
