TxTeach79's Pearl European Adventure LIVE - 6/24

[TxTeach79]

Zero line for the shuttle. Walked right on. Now we wait. There are six of us total onboard. 

 

 

[TxTeach79]

We purchased shuttle tickets at the pier - they put a red sticker on your car denoting your shuttle transfer

Never mind. Bartender guilted B into us playing. We got 18 out of 20. Second place got 7. Not sure what the prize was, B was antsy to get ashore so we bailed 

Last time I played this specific trivia there was some prodigy 7-year-old kid that knew every single one. Little man even got San Marino...at that point you gotta just tip your cap lol

I think the bus driver is listening to reggae. Plot twist?

Happened to me on Regal Princess last thanksgiving week. I’m a geography teacher for goodness sake… some 10 year old absolutely blitzed the field. All I could do is wish he was in my class…

Very nice to ease from my jewel class cruise to feeling like i'm on yours! 

[TxTeach79]

Made it to the gates of Old Town. Cell service is at a crawl, bear with me. It’s packed down here, that could be it 

 

 

 

 

[TxTeach79]

By the old city walls

Stopped here to kill an hour before meeting our guide…. Great shade, right on the water.

I got a half liter of a Croatian lager I can’t pronounce, and B got the house white

They have breakfast risotto. What is that?

Time to take one for the team!

[TxTeach79]

Okay. We ordered a tray of Croatian cheese about 45 minutes ago and it hasn’t come. Our waiter hasn’t come back either. We have to meet our guide in 15…

Success

[TxTeach79]

Cheese, olives, sun dried tomato. Worth the wait 

 

[TxTeach79]

The damage. Tourist spot, a little pricier 

 

 

 

[TxTeach79]

Headed inside the walls to the meeting point, a large public fountain 

 

 

[TxTeach79]

Inside old town. It’s packed, but very cool 

 

 

[TxTeach79]

Nothing says medieval majesty quite like it IMHO
