Izzywiz Posted February 22, 2021 #301 Share Posted February 22, 2021 This cruise is taking me to some of my very favourite places. We had a holiday in Dubrovnik in 1983 when it was still part of Yugoslavia and found the city to be fascinating. These 2 pictures are from that holiday when we had time to go up the cable car and leave the city at sunset. Ooops, I don't know why it has rotated this way but I can't get it to rotate back....sorry 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennizor Posted February 22, 2021 #303 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Beautiful photos of Dubrovnik. We booked our Azura May cruise to the Eastern Med mainly because we wanted to see Croatia. Expecting that to be cancelled, I booked a similar cruise in September. Don’t even think that will happen unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzywiz Posted February 22, 2021 #304 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Our second visit was in 2008 when the city was still recovering from the war and we were staggered by how much damage had been done and how well the city was being restored. These pictures were taken from our walk around the wall so we could see where the new shiny, bright orange tiles had been used to repair the damaged rooves. We thought that the walk was well worth while as it gave a wonderful perspective of the whole old city. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplesea Posted February 22, 2021 #305 Share Posted February 22, 2021 (edited) It is one of the many places that I would like to return to. Edited February 22, 2021 by purplesea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzywiz Posted February 22, 2021 #306 Share Posted February 22, 2021 After walking the walls, we did an hour's boat trip from the port which took us along the coast. We packed a lot into that day. We should have returned on a cruise in 205 but the port was cancelled because the ship was very late leaving Venice as there was a terrible storm. i was very disappoited but that's cruising for you!!! I'm now looking forward seeing lots more Dubrovnik photographs and then visiting Santorini tomorrow... 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aulanis Posted February 22, 2021 #309 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Another day on board for us have not been on a cruise but stayed for a week in a hotel back in 2012 pics have gone awol. We crammed in a lot of walking and a tour of one of the nearby islands and one to kotor. Dubrovnik was great when the cruise ships were not there!

On our first visit to Dubrovnik in 2003, we did a full day tour to Dubrovnik and Cavtat. Unfortunately, the photos for that one are in the loft. But Cavtat was lovely, and quite peaceful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izzywiz Posted February 23, 2021 #322 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Fabulous pictures of Santorini. It is definitely one of my top 5 destinations. We visited in 1992 when we were on our first cruise and were totally captivated. Our second visit was in 2008 when we got up very early to see the sunrise... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzywiz Posted February 23, 2021 #323 Share Posted February 23, 2021 We got the cable car up to Thira...not my favourite form of transport as you can see.... but the alternative was worse! We caught the local bus from Thira to Oia and were surprised to see how different the scenery was on the other side of the isalnd.... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izzywiz Posted February 23, 2021 #325 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Oia must be one of the most picturesque places on earth and we were lucky because we visited in early November so it wasn't too crowded and we had glorious sunshine. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
