I'm a little behind posting photos for various reasons, so while right now we're in France I'm continuing with photos from Croatia, because there's too much to see!! Hopefully in the next few days you'll see loads more, so keep tuned... I've also added a few more from Split... which was where we started... The cruise has been sensational. I have been painting various artworks, eating much more than I need, swimming ALL the time - which is my idea of a holiday as you would all know!!! As well as exploring loads of historic towns and beautiful islands. The group on board - an amalgam of multiple generations - has been a delight.
Remember - all these photos can be seen in larger format by clicking on them which links to the larger sized image.
Sylvain makes a splash - in fact it looks like he's blasting
out of the water!! Jumping from the top of the ship has been popular right through the cruise - and the weather has been very encouraging to get into the water.
Here a crab surveys the nightlife - as lit up by a luxury cruiser with underwater lighting in
Hvar; truly decadent...
The streets of
Hvar are a delight to explore - unexpected finds and beautiful aspects..
Night time in
Hvar - it was very late, but a very kind man at the only
internet cafe was staying up for me downloading software for these pictures - if it weren't for him
there'd still be nothing on this blog. He called me at around 2am when it was ready - the town was still buzzing (
his cafe shut at 10pm) he even gave me some local food and offered beer, which he was well stocked with...
The Diocletian Palace in Split. We has a guided tour - quite a history here!! This is in the basement, which is the only part untouched by the centuries of modifications above it.
The Bell Tower also in the Diocletian Palace, Split.
Sylvain the Suave.
Our Hotel in Dubrovnic Hotel Bellevue - just sensational and some of the crowd from the boat enjoying drinks on the balcony...
On deck - Sylvain with fellow passengers Colin and Greg dressed for the occasion.
Sean and Philip - our hosts.
Tim joins us for drinks at a hole-in-the wall cafe bar in Dubrovnic seen in both pictures above. Truly Sensational. (and you really do need to go through a tiny unmarked door in the huge wall to get to it). Live Jazz started at midnight.

Home for the week.
One of many cool bars and locations to eat, drink and chill out under the stars.
Found this one exploring the foreshore - spectacular.
This one's not actually Hvar, but Split from the boat- oops.
