Our final blog. One who shall remain nameless, spent the night in our bed, taking up the vast majority of it. For something so small, it has a huge footprint. Following our great breakfast of Montreal Bagels, salmon, cottage cheese and capers, it was time for us to head out for a walk. Two purposes … More Montreal to Calgary – 30th September 2022
It is farewell to the UK today after four and a half months of having lots of adventures and meeting up with lots of our friends and making new ones. Our day commenced with breakfast and a coffee with Karen and Miles before they helped us across the road with our bulging bags to the … More London to Montreal – 29th September 2022
Today Karen had arranged for us to do a tour through Highgate Cemetery which is located at Highgate Hill which is in north London. Originally, they opened up the cemetery in 1839 to cope with the overcrowded church yards where bodies were being dug up by wild animals. There are approximately 170,000 people buried in … More Highgate Cemetery – 28th September 2022
Karen and Miles have been wonderful to us during our stay at their place in London and provided us with a very comfortable bed, better diet than we have been subjecting ourselves to and being our tour guides as well as booking all our activities whilst in London. We owe these guys big time!!! Today, … More Hampstead and the Heath – 27th September 2022
We need to make an amendment from our posting on the 24th where we mentioned that our pole dancing Gary was 70 – when he was really 80 – he he. We were meant to go to Kenwood House today and then out for a pub meal but our enthusiasm had drained away to be … More Gardening in London – 26th September 2022
Bugger all to write about as it was a transit day. Don’t you just hate hanging around waiting for that trip to the airport and then the interminable wait to board the flight and …… oh god….. the horrendous flight. We were off the boat just prior to 9.00am and out on the pavement in … More Home to London – 25th September 2022
The majority of us hit the sack about 1.00am but there was a hard core of four and they did not appear for breakfast – wonder why. They had started to hit the yagger bombs and finished the night with whisky, so probably not that surprising. After breakfast, we moored for our daily swim at … More Back to Split – 24th September 2022
Three hours cruising to our swimming spot for the day in beautiful Adriatic sunshine. It was then onto Makarska. We are no longer visiting any of the Dalmatian Islands and are back on the Croatian mainland. Makarska is 60 k’s from Split so by that you can gather that our cruise is fast approaching it’s … More Bonza Night, Makarska – 23rd September 2022
The days have a very distinctive pattern. We drag ourselves out of bed (has been getting later every morning) and make our way up for breakfast which we take an hour over. That starts at 8.00am. By now the boat is cruising off to our next swim location where they set it all up for … More Mljet – 22th September 2022
Very, very windy day with lots of whitecaps. We had five hours of cruising today to reach our destination of Dubrovnik by 2.00pm. This meant that there was not enough time to drop off for a swim which was OK by everyone as it was just too choppy. We caught the local bus into town … More Dubrovnik – 21st September 2022
