Our boat sailed right around the Mediterranean and you hardly felt it moving. Fiona and I had been cruising as kids and I did expect to have the same bit of sea sickness – seriously though, the thing hardly moved. It was so beautiful sailing along past islands and then at other times, seeing the sea as far as you could look. The sunsets were impossible to describe. I have been to Dubrovnik before and enjoyed my visit again. We sat and had beautiful lunch overlooking Kings Landing but gave up on climbing walls as the sun really was relentless. By the time we docked in Slovenia we were well and truly in holiday mode and just went for a little amble and then back onto the boat for a swim.
Coming into Venice was quite a sight. I had heard about the problems with boats on the Grand Canal, but our captain behaved and delivered us to the Venetian cruise terminal. The total organisation on the boat continued with our disembarkation and our trip to our lovely Airbnb, on one of the maze waterways of Venezia, was just lovely. The tourists weren’t quite so lovely, so note to self – do not ever visit Venezia in August.
