Adriatic Journey September 9-17, 2014

They say time flies when you are having fun - I can vouch for that!  I'm catching up on posting my past two trips. Here is the first:

Arrived in Dubrovnik from Dublin on September 9.  Had a chance to look around before meeting all the passengers for this Stanford Alumni tour the following day.
 Welcome to Croatia
 Dubrovnik
 Hospitality Table
Our ship: Variety Voyager

 Our walking tour of Dubrovnik was lovely, but the city was very crowded with tourists.


One stop, the oldest Pharmacy interesting and is still in operation.

The weather was quite stormy when the ship left Dubrovnik and headed north. It settled down at some point during the night but the skies were still cloudy the next day. 

The islands we visited were Rab, Trogir and Vis. In each case we were greeted by local guides and shown around the ancient cities.

Vis

The cruise into the Bay of Kotor was spectacular! This was definitely a highlight for everyone on the cruise. The views along the way to and from Ngulsi and Centji were amazing!  The bus ride was the main attraction up and down the narrow and curvy roads.

Gate into City of Kotor

 View of mountains behind the city
 views of beaches and towns on bus ride to Ctinje & Njulsi
 higher and higher
 the Kotor Road – 22 switchbacks in 22 kilometers
 tight turns!
 view on our way back to Kotor

All in all a lovely way to spend a week! Put Croatia on your travel bucket list soon!!!
