Day Nine. Dubrovnik, Croatia. Woke up around 6am and were yet to dock, but got some great photos coming into Dubrovnik. Last night's moon was yet to set and it offered some great views as we cruised through some island passages into port. We headed up for breakfast around 7:30 and then got off the ship for a look around. The weather was warm 27c and the day was beautiful. We grabbed a cab to 'Old Dubrovnik' which is a fortified town on the banks of the Adriat...

Day Eight. Venice We woke up at about 8:30 am which is quite late but considering we got to sleep at 1:30am it wasn't too bad. We decided against going back into Venice as the ship was to sail at 12pm and we needed to complete the mandatory Emergency Drill at 11:30am. We went down to breakfast and was met with a huge range of options. We will be lucky if we fit into our pants after this trip! After breakfast we went back to our room and took everything out of o...

Our last day in London started with a quick breakfast, pack up and get into a cab for the hour long trip to Gatwick Airport. The check in at the airport was simple and we made our way to Jamie Oliver's for lunch, (that's his restaurant not to his house). After a nice meal of fresh pasta we headed to the gate and boarded on time. The flight from London to Venice was smooth and very quick, (under two hours), and we breezed through immigration. Once out of the ai...

Got up early again, we are starting to look forward to the days at sea so we can sleep beyond 7 am, although Steve did get up at a very unreasonable hour to watch the Dockers final, he really has an addiction to men kicking a bit of leather around an odd shaped oval, lol. After breakfast we caught the hop on hop off bus and took in some more sights of London, we saw Piccadilly Circus then got off at Trafalgar Square where we watched some street entertainers. One...

Woke up to a grey overcast day, which is typical for where we are, we had breakfast and then proceeded to make our way to Hyde Park and hire some bikes to take a leisurely ride around the place. All was going well until Larry decided to take a different direction then our pack of 4 became 3 people riding to the Diana Memorial. The park is very big and beautiful especially as it is Autumn, and the colour changes in the trees are really special. After the visit...
