Corfu and Dubrovnik: Revelations

Beautiful.

There. This is the best description of Corfu and Dubrovnik. We thought we’d seen paradise with Santorin, but when you pick up a dictionary to look up the word, you find these other two places as well.

Santorini is indeed a beautiful place, but it is limited. Corfu and Dubrovnik are full of different things to see and experience, leaving Deb and I to wonder what else is worthy of attention.

So anyway, some photos:

About Dubrovnik – forget Venice completely. Dubrovnik, especially the old town, is amazing: it is clean, tidy and in good repair and just as many amazing things to see:

Sadly the day ended in a bit of a farce: with four cruise ships in town, the old city was packed,, getting out was utterly crowded. No fun at all if you value your personal space.

Anyway, we are no heading to Venice for the end of the tour. From Venice we catch a train to Paris, to arrive on the 23rd. While we will not see the Alps in the dark, we did see them from the air last week:

Not sure when the next update will happen…

  3. How come Shane can get away with calling you that???? Here I've remained so polite and good-mannered! lol

    It's not fair...but then, after all, I am a gentle soul and I would never call you "bitch"...would I? ;)

    There is little noise or movement coming from Paris.....methinks birthday celebrations have been extended...recovery time could take a while! I'll make a mug of coffee while I wait...perhaps a pot or two! )

  4. Never mind. Deb says she will get even with Shane when we get back (after all, he gets to turn 50 as well).

    We've been on the move constantly since disembarking. Hopefully a post or three should go up tonite.
