Day 13 Venice, Italy

First full day in Venice. It was an amazing day!

First we took a boat to Murano Island to see the glass blowing and explore the canals. The boat ride over was…interesting….pretty sure captain was having his first day on the job!

Murano Island Glass Factory….beautiful, impressive, magical. We first sat down and watched their main guy make a vase, a glass and then a horse. The horse was by far the most impressive…see the photos and captions…it all took place in less than a minute. We then toured the factory for an opportunity to observe, admire and of course- purchase!

After the Glass Factory, we walked around the canals and explored the shops before returning to San Marco Island. I decided to book a food and wine tour for myself for the evening. I found the tour on Trip Advisor- “Eat, Drink and Repeat.” This tour was so much fun.

The tour guide, Sara, had so much personality and she made it fun for everyone. Additionally, she had so much knowledge about Venice- the history, culture….and of course food and wine. She took us only to places family owned and with history tied to the city. It was obvious she had established relationships with all of the business owners by the way we were treated and served. The food and wine were divine…but the experience and meeting new people is what made the evening. I invited at least 6 people to “come visit me in Pensacola” ….and we exchanged contact information.

At some point during the walking tour, it started to rain. No one seemed to care at all. The photos just before and right after the rain are the prettiest in my opinion. I really enjoyed this tour. Tomorrow is the last day or our magical trip and I have booked a private pasta making class for Alyssa and I to close out our trip.

Day 12 Venice, Italy

We got off the cruise ship at a port in the middle of nowhere. And it was storming. We have a ticket for a 1.5 hour bus ride to the center of town in Venice. After a 3 hour bus ride, we were dropped off in the center of nowhere with no idea how to get to San Marco Venice, the location of our hotel.

There was no shortage of people willing to assist, however language was a bit of a problem. The kind people in Italy were having a lot of trouble with “lower Alabama accent and English.” We eventually ended up on a tiny ferry for a “short ride” to the island.

Now keep in mind….per the plan, we each brought one large suitcase from home and then purchases an additional large suitcase in Athens for all the things we would purchase. We are now transporting 3 large suitcases. 😊

The ferry drops us off on the island and we are still .8 miles from the hotel. We continue our trip, by foot, over cobblestone, over multiple canals, dragging all 3 suitcases. We were both elated to see the sign reading “Royal San Marco Hotel.”

I really love this hotel and highly recommend it if you stay in Venice. It is a beautiful hotel right in the middle of everything. The check in was quick, the staff incredibly friendly and we get breakfast daily and a private tour to Murano for the glass blowing experience.

After check in, we walked next door for pasta by the canal. The pasta is to die for!!! After lunch, Alyssa’s boyfriend and his sister arrived for a couple of days. As a result, I was able to take some time and explore on my own. St. Mark’s Basilica is breathtaking. The canals and gondolas are magical. And I had clams for the very first time…I am a fan!

Day 11 Split, Croatia

Today is our last day on the cruise. We are in Split, Croatia. It is very beautiful and we are very tired. We got off the ship to walk around town for a bit. We did not last long. The architecture is absolutely beautiful. I wish I had more to report. We went back to the ship, ate cheeseburgers, laid by the pool, visited the spa, had an early dinner and retired. The cruise ends tomorrow and we are off to Venice, Italy.

Day 9- Dubrovnik, Croatia

Dubrovnik did not disappoint! We took a convertible van tour around the outskirts of town and received a history of Dubrovnik.

After we had a wonderful lunch with a view of the harbor. We walked the streets inside the walls. We had ice cream. We are loving every single new experience but also are getting a little tired. The pep in the step is fading.

Day 8 Kotor, Montenegro

Oh Kotor….I am so in love!!! I will definitely be coming back to you!

The moment I looked out the window….I knew this would be a special place! The beauty is unlike anything I have ever seen. It is like a huge lake surrounded by gigantic mountains with all of the historical architecture. See the photos and captions for more details.

We took a boat taxi from the cruise ship into town. Kotor is a fortified, medieval town with tiny winding walkways dwarfed by tall Romanesque structures. The town center is full of shops and churches and food and entertainment. I wanted to photograph every single turn. I want to remember it all….except for the part where I dropped a ridiculous amount of money on something I promised I would never buy 🙄🤦‍♀️ 👜

After shopping, we stopped at a little restaurant called Scorpio and shared salad and pizza. Once again… I cannot believe how good the food is here. If the pictures do not convince you, trust me…. This is a must see place. I will definitely come back here again to spend a few days. One day was simply not enough. I love you Kotor!

Days 7 Zykanthos, Greece

Today we visited the Greek Island of Zykanthos. I have never been here before. We did not book an excursion. We decided to simply see what we could get into.

As soon as we got into port, we found a cool little train ride (not a real train- an open air, tourist train) around the city. It was only 30 minutes but provided a great over view of things to see and do.
After the train ride, we started walking to see more of the places we had seen on the ride. I continue to be overwhelmed by the beauty in the architecture. There are so many beautiful churches and buildings. Again- I continue to be overwhelmed by the food. I think it is a good thing that I do not like sweets…the bakeries here smell and look like what I imagine bakeries in Heaven do.

Zakynthos is known for its seafood. For lunch we found the perfect location to sample the local seafood. Alyssa had a cheeseburger :-0. I had tiny fried shrimp which are fried whole with shell in tact. You eat it that way as well. Oh my goodness…this was amazing. The flavor was off the charts. I also had seafood cakes (think crab cake but with multiple types of seafood). Again…the flavor was off the charts.

After the amazing lunch, we did some shopping for souvenirs before going back to the boat. After a little rest, we got dressed for dinner and a show. The show was so much fun. Go check out this amazing group NYC3 Live https://www.facebook.com/nyc3live/
https://www.nyc3live.com/
Best cover band performance I have seen. Great vocals and full on entertainment/dancing. They were so good, I stayed for the second show and claimed a free CD for dancing with one of the singers. It was a great night.

Last day in Greece. Tomorrow we arrive in Kotor, Montenegro!

Days 7 At Sea

Today our cruise ship sailed all day long. It has been really, really nice to take an entire day to rest, relax and enjoy!

Saw the sunrise. Saw the sunset. Saw all things relaxation in between. See pictures and captions for the details.

First, I captured many shots of the sunrise from the back of the boat. God’s artwork never ceases to amaze me. His blessings are truly new every single day!

Had breakfast with my best girl, followed by manicures. After the manis, we reported to the pool chairs for some vitamin D. Later she made a good choice and went to the gym and I…..well I decided to educate myself on martinis. I attended a class on all things martinis….time well spent!

Massage. Dinner. Sunset. The day was perfection!

Days 6 Mykonos

Today our cruise ship docked in Mykonos. I had already booked a sailing trip but we wanted to check out the town area first. We walked off the cruise ship- and after a short struggle- found the cab stand. We took a cab to Mykonos town square.

Because I have been here before, I had a general idea of places to go and see. I also wanted to have lunch by the water. But, we were on a time schedule so that we could make it back in time for our sailing excursion. I will never see the beautiful white walls and vibrant colored flowers as normal. They are simply beautiful!

We walked the cobblestone streets, took photos, saw the famous windmills and had an incredible lunch by the water. If you are not seeing a theme here…I am enjoying the food way too much. But, seriously, check out that pizza. We ended up running out of time and walking away with most of it boxed up. But it was delicious!

We made it back to port just in time to join our excursion crew and walk to our sail boat/ pirate ship. As soon as I saw on our ticket “Parents are advised that n**e sunbathing is permitted”- I knew it would be a good time! I booked this trip through the cruise ship. I never got the name of the company. It was a bit windy and “cold” for my daughter. Along the sail we saw so many beautiful homes, hotels, yachts and people. Mikonos is certainly an island of beauty and wealth. We anchored at a couple of beaches to swim. We opted out of swimming when several people jumped in and right out again… purple lips and all.

In Paraga Beach our boat came a little too close to a fancy yacht. Fancy yacht protectors called the police. So, we officially had a police encounter in Mykonos!
Sail, swim, and sunbathe! We also had amazing snacks….spinach and cheese pie, olives, tzatziki, and refreshing juices, bottled soft drinks and water AND WINE. We then made a short second anchor drop at Super Paradise beach, considered one of the liveliest and most beautiful on Mykonos.

It was an absolutely amazingly beautiful day. See photos and captions for more details.

Days 5 Athens

Today we are tourists and cruisers. See pictures and captions.

Thankfully my girl is recovered from her jet lag. The breakfast served at the Duke was absolutely amazing! After breakfast and packing, we headed out to do all things tourist. But, we had to hurry so we could be on the cruise ship before 4:00 p.m.

First, we observed the Changing of the Guard at the Parliament at Syntagma Square. This happens every hour on the hour and is definitely a must see. It is really cool to see this and compare it to others I have seen in other locations. Alyssa was super impressed with their shoes…so much so that she purchased some for herself.

Next we went to the Acropolis. I have been twice before. But, I simply was not prepared for the beauty and magic. Additionally, I was not prepared for the crowd. I highly recommend going early in the day. The crowd was person to person from start to finish. It was hard to move about.

After the Acropolis we had to rush back to the Duke for our luggage and to grab a cab to the cruise ship. But first we grabbed delicious grilled corn from a street vendor.

We just made it to the ship in time for setting sail. We will be aboard the Celebrity Infinity for the next 7 nights. The ship is really nice. My experience with food aboard a cruise is quantity over quality. That is certainly not the case this time. The food is really amazing! After dinner we settled in for rest.

Tomorrow we take on Mykonos.

Days 3 Athens

Today we rest and recover. See photos and captions for more details.

We woke early morning to rain in Santorini- super unusual. Off to the airport for our short flight to Athens. Upon landing in Athens, we had a 30 minute cab ride to our hotel. I had booked the Duke Boutique Suites. It was only one night. When I go back to Athens, I will definitely stay there again.

About the Duke….lovely little boutique hotel up the hill from Syntagma Square. It is small, quaint and the employees were so very friendly. The rooms were quite large and had a fully stocked kitchen.

After storing our luggage, we walked to Syntagma Square to look around. We then trekked toward Monastiraki Square….stopping in a few shops along the way.

Monostiraki Square is an Athens must. There are food vendors, markets, small shops and small restaurants every where. Had an amazing lunch (fresh gyros..see pic). This area is a great place to get local food at a reasonable price and shop for souvenirs. We walked and looked and shopped. We bought an extra suitcase for our extras. After a couple of hours, we went back to the hotel to check in.

Alyssa was feeling tired and jet lagged. So, we decided to stay in for the evening. While she napped, I visited the roof top bar and pool. This was my favorite part of the hotel. So nice and quaint with a fabulous view down to the square. Because Alyssa was still feeling tired, we decided to lay low for the evening. We had pedicures and stopped at a café near the hotel for pasta and then turned in early.
