Gettingwarmer

Kusadasi today. Tomorrow the island of Rhodes. The terraced houses.

The first time we went to Istanbul the Marathon was taking part and it was pouring with rain. It made getting around town very difficult as many roads were closed and crowded with people and we were not equiped for the weather.

We stayed overnight and visited the Dolmabahce Palace the next day. The palace from the ship

Tomorrow Kusadasi (for Ephesus). Today we start by sailing the Dardanelles to Istanbul. Hagia Sophia Blue Mosque Topkapi Palace Cistern

Arrived in Piraeus for Athens.Tomorrow we travel through the Dardanelles to Istanbul. After visiting Athens we have done two trips out to the country. First south to Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon Then another time north to Corinth

Arrived in Santorini at last😀, the tender was taking its time. We sail for Athens tonight.

We went on a tour from Grand Princess in 2012.

Another time at Dubrovnik we went on a tour to a Brandy tasting and on to Cavtat. There does't seem to any of the actual tatsting, I was too busy.

This looks a lovely trip. Next visit we might give it a go.

Yes we have booked one on the "hump" for a Canaries cruise in 2022.

We have docked in Dubrovnik, one time we tendered into the new dock and it took a long time. Tomorrow we are in Santorini.

I think the balconies are larger than Britannia’s looking at comparable ships but not as large as the older P&O ships.

A few more pictures

That looks a lovely place

Some really lovely photos of Venice today. Thanks to everyone.
