Our days were coming to an end on the cruise and in this picture we are shown with Zlatko, the outstanding maitre ' d on our ship. He did everything for us at dinner. Zlatko and most of the crew were Croatian.
Here we are shown at the dinner table one night. We usually tried to move around to different tables as the people we were on the cruise with were from mostly Europe, with 3 from Canada and 1 from Australia. There were 24 people in all, with a crew of 8.
We had fish on most nights and it was excellent. On this night, we had sea bass that they had just caught.
Here we are riding on cobblestones on the island of Solta, which is known as the Island of Olives.
We toured a small olive oil factory and then had a taste testing of different kinds of of flavored olive oils.
In this picture we are shown, after our last ride, on the top deck of our boat.
Pat got us started shopping at the Aqua stores. They are a uniquely Croatian store, with clothing and accessories that have stripes like many of the nautical clothing lines tend to have.
On our last day, Helen, Alana and I walked around the streets of Trogir, an ancient city where our cruise started and ended. Because Croatia has been under Italian influence and governance for many centuries, the country looks very much like an uncrowded Italy.
Zlatko, Mom, Alana and Erin just before enjoying our final dinner of the trip.
Jenny, one of our tour guides, plays guitar on the last night while the crew members sing. One night in Skradin, Jenny took her guitar out to a cafe/bar with all of us and we sang for awhile that evening for the customers at the cafe.
After leaving the ship today, the 7 of us headed through Slovenia and stopped at the absolutely beautiful town of Bled. It was pretty crowded today due to it being a Saturday and many people from the capital city of Ljubljana were visiting. We decided to continue onto Austria where it wasn't so crowded.
We found a small town in Austria call Mollebrucke and saw that instead of people and cars on the streets, that we had to contend with cows blocking the road.
Here we are on the balcony of our hotel in Austria. It was a beautiful little village and had the best spaetzel I have had in a long time.
The town also had a real maypole in front of the city hall. It was a tree that had been cut down from the local forest.
This was the little hotel that we stayed at in Mollebrucke. Onto the Brenner Pass and Lake Garda.
