Hampstead and the Heath – 27th September 2022

September 29, 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

Gardening in London – 26th September 2022

September 29, 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

Home to London – 25th September 2022

September 28, 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

Back to Split – 24th September 2022

September 27, 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

Bonza Night, Makarska – 23rd September 2022

September 25, 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

Mljet – 22th September 2022

September 24, 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

Dubrovnik – 21st September 2022

September 23, 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

Change in Plans – 20th September 2022

September 22, 2022

For some dumb reason Di was up and on the back deck doing the blog for yesterday at 6.30am which was the time we headed out of Hvar harbour. Another beautiful day in paradise. Not sure why, but our itinerary has changed Tuesday port to Thursday and vice versa. No biggie as we have no … More Change in Plans – 20th September 2022

Hvar – 19th September 2022

September 21, 2022

First order of the day was a scrumptious breakfast with all the trimmings. This was followed up by a very short cruise of two hours to then drop anchor just outside the port of Hvar. There was to be no room for us in the port of Hvar until the last commercial ferry left at … More Hvar – 19th September 2022

A holiday within a holiday – 18th September 2022

September 21, 2022

Just under two weeks now until we return to real life and we had planned to go out with  a bang.  We have been wanting to do an Adriatic cruise off the coast of Croatia for a few years now but with covid and other commitments it was not able to be done until now. … More A holiday within a holiday – 18th September 2022
