Rare drron29 Posted November 15, 2022 Author #228 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Now one last visit to a small church. Really? But I read it anyway! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted November 15, 2022 Author #229 Share Posted November 15, 2022 And out of the old town with a short walk to our bus for the rest of the tour. Good to see the ship getting some attention. And here is the next highlight. The isle of St.George and the island we will visit The Rock of Our Lady. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted November 15, 2022 Author #230 Share Posted November 15, 2022 We catch a small ferry from the village of Perast. And off we go 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted November 15, 2022 Author #231 Share Posted November 15, 2022 And we wait until we can go into the church. Inside the church. Only small but very interesting. Lots of silver. A tradition that when married here the bride leaves her bouquet. And this painting is why the church is here.Said to have been found on a rock here on July 22nd 1452. So after each successful voyage the crew would throw rocks in here until an islet was formed. Every July 22nd the boats congregate here and add rocks to the island. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare drron29 Posted November 15, 2022 Author #233 Share Posted November 15, 2022 A complete shambles of organisation. Looks like I set it up! These were said to be over 2000 years old. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted November 15, 2022 Author #234 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Some art as well as plaques presented by cruise ships. And views out the window. The view from the second floor of the church. Instead of going down the steep outside stairs I left via the church and no one was there so a shot of the whole altar was possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted November 15, 2022 Author #235 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Then back on the ferry to Perast. And back on the bus for the drive to lunch. And bus and all went on the ferry to cross the inlet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare drron29 Posted November 15, 2022 Author #240 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Back on the bus for the last time. .And past the airport. Quite a few executive jets. Through a tunnel and on the other side a glimpse of our ship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted November 15, 2022 Author #241 Share Posted November 15, 2022 The little stream near the dock was very healthy. And back to the ship. We weren't very hungry at dinner. just one course. I had the lamb Rogan josh and it was very good and spicy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted November 15, 2022 #242 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Lovely photos, drron. That looks like a very good excursion. We loved Kotor, a pretty little town and the sail in and out is spectacular - especially out, at 5 or 6, with a glass of something good as you sit or stand and watch.

Rare drron29 Posted November 15, 2022 Author #243 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Now the sail in was spectacular but the sail away was equally so. It was a friday night and there was a lot of music and laughter accompanying the lights. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We thought this excursion was almost certainly the best on this cruise. It was though a Virtuoso excursion not a SS one. The other 2 excursions I really liked were Malta and the SALT excursion from Livorno Kotor was the highlight for me as I had no expectations at all. But from the ship docking at the old town and the ships sail in and sail out it was just spectacular.

Rare drron29 Posted November 16, 2022 Author #248 Share Posted November 16, 2022 The next morning found us cruising into Dubrovnik. This is where a smaller shp is an advantage. We could anchor in the bay and tender straight to the Old Town. Larger cruise ships now have to dock a fair distance away and use busses to get to the Old Town.

Rare drron29 Posted November 16, 2022 Author #249 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Our excursion was first a walk through old Dubrovnik and then out into the countryside. And another cathedral. Some work going on inside the Cathedral. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted November 16, 2022 Author #250 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Back outside and the first busses from the large cruise ships have obviously arrived as the crowds are much larger. very few people when we got off our tender. There was a market. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
