"Disembark your ship for a visit to the striking Blue Mosque, stepping inside to admire its ornate interior. Continue to the Underground Cistern to glimpse its illuminated interior, a space supported by 336 columns. Then, set out on a scenic cruise along the Bosphorus Strait while savoring a tasty Turkish-style lunch. Back on land, visit the Grand Bazaar for a presentation on Turkish carpets, as well as time to browse the many stalls. The rest of the day is yours to explore at your leisure." Sorry, but another question for those that may have been on theis extension: How do we get to the hotel?

I wonder if there is such a thing. Been looking.

What other lines stock is of no consequence here. And Goose? Where I come from it's used for windshield washer fluid.

The more pressing issue is, of course, why not bourbon?

The question was how.

Something new every day. Thanks!

Last time out long about day 4 the steward left a 1L bottle of Gordon's on the counter saying that they'd run out of the little bottles of Beefeater's.

As has been answered perhaps a thousand times --- most likely = Smirnoff for vodka and Beefeaters for gin.

Really nice? Suitable for framing?

We arrive Athens at 7am one day and leave at 6pm the next day (Ancient Adriatic Treasures). Day 2 excursions are offered. Day 1 nothing! All day in Athens and no excursions?

Manfredi's taking a lot of hits lately.

Wasn't as impressd with the split pea soup as others - probably because I make the best by far. And "real onion rings?" - is there some other kind?

We'd like to see the falconry but fear the declines (her) and inclines (me) might be too much. Anybody have any luck with private tours to falconry?

I prefer poached Chilean Sea.

What I'm asking: Is the waterfalls portion of the falconry excursion the same amount of walking (up and down) or more of a drive by? Can the walk be shortened or avoided?

I was asking about the falls portion of the excursion.

Does the falconry excursion include the same amount of walking at the falls or is it more of a drive by?

Whatever the traffic will bear.

You can get one sent via chat option request - or at least I can.

Ever run into fresh shucked oysters aboard a Viking ship?

"Moderate" seems to be a broad description.

Indeed. Coach too cramped - business waaaaaaaaay too spendy.

Maybe just as well. I've yet to have lamb on a Viking ship that was not totally devoid of any detectable flavor. Not sure how they manage that but I don't think it's just me.

Who has done this excursion out of Split? Please weigh in on the amount of walking/difficulty and the excursion overall. TIA.
