Greek Isle Cruise - October 18-25
What an exciting week! It's difficult to say what part of this vacation was the most exciting...seeing my sister after being apart for 16 months, hanging out with great friends (my sister and her husband; and Toni and Rick), or visiting ancient cities in Montenegro, Greece, and Croatia. As one can imagine, the combination of all three was truly a blessing.
Leaving Venice at sunset
Kotor, Montenegro
Jay and I climbed to the fortress near the top of this mountain.
This church was about half way to the top
Looking back at the port where we docked.
Somebody has to repair the walls!
Our ship: "Splendour of the Seas"
Corfu, Greece
Athens, Greece
A rest stop on our way up to the Acropolis
The Parthenon!
An afternoon snack at a sidewalk cafe
Mykonos, Greece
Everyone fell in love with the stray kitten.
Inside a Greek bakery
The Windmills of Mykonos
Our dinner table and waiters
The ship's crew flag parade
Bad weather and rough seas required a change in our port of call on Thursday, and the deck chairs had to be tied down.
Split, Croatia
Back in Venice, Italy
The city of Venice was promoting trips to Murano with free water taxi rides to the island.
