A leisurely day at sea was followed by Venetian night - once again the 'top cruisers' had spent more than 1400 days on board. TSH and Diva were invited to dine with the Captain - for the first time on this holiday.
The visit to Dubrovnik started early enough that they had good views of the impressive marble streets and stone buildings before the hordes arrived from the large cruise terminal along the coast. After that, the streets became very over crowded. At some of the smaller ports on this holiday, there were no other cruise ships but at the larger, or more popular, ports there have been regular sightings of Viking Sky and Celebrity Edge.
The coast along the eastern Adriatic sea is beautiful, with mountains and many small islands, so the last few days will be very scenic.
In spite of not having a good internet service, Diva has managed to just about keep up with her OU course, although a large amount of work will be needed as soon as she gets home to a good signal. The first assignment - as yet incomplete - is due very soon. She has also almost finalised her U3A talk on the golden ratio. TSH has worked on cataloguing and photoshopping his pictures, but the signal has not been good enough for much work on his website. TV reception has been patchy and at present their suite has vision but no sound.
Dinner with Ruth and Michael from Northern Ireland - they first met them in Alaska in 2018.
