Saturday 13th of May. Korcula.

 Beautiful nights sleep in my lovely big cabin. Fantastic boiling hot shower and plenty of room. No shuffling around here in the shower!!!  Woken early as the boat took off away from Dubrovnik.  Got dressed and had a very light breaky as tummy not good with the movement.... stayed up the front with the Belgium family, also not good. Finally went to my cabin and slept. Ahh that's the way for me to handle sea sickness.  We moored and I woke starving!!! Another beautiful  scenery and fun. Met more new people at lunch. Canadians,  sisters and a daughter who works in Berlin.  Then time for our bike ride. All very envious of my woolly seat cover. 

It was wet but not cold and really who cares, the scenery,  wild red  poppies, yellow daisies, vines everywhere.  Just fantastic so love it. Bit wet when we got back but dry now. A city tour shortly and then out for dinner. Great group. About 28 of us. Loving it all.











The rain hasn't stopped. In fact getting worse. Not cold but sooo wet. Brolly out for city tour and very interesting and very wet. My puffer jacket is not waterproof!!! Back on board to dry out and then rugged up and off for dinner. Finally found a pizza place. Delicious and even better red wine. Back on the boat for bridge.

    Shame about the weather, but it still looks beautiful. Hope it clears up for you.
    More glorious afternoons here, after foggy and very cold mornings.

    It all looks beautiful Smith. Shame about the rain but glad you’re not letting it cramp your style. Great that you’ve got a nice group on the trip.

    And the Show must go on! At least it is flat riding and no wind. Haha. Tony remembers Korcula for an expensive bottle of recommended local red. xx

Saturday/Sunday, 17th and !8th May 2025

 Saturday was a very long day, that really bled into Sunday as I travelled through numerous  time zones.  I left Melbourne  on Saturday at midday and flew to Auckland.  Change of planes to LA. Business class again was delightful but Air NZ doesn't seem to have a big choice of movie, not a huge problem when you can lie down etc!! Once we headed to LA, I'd  eaten enough so had my bed made up and went to sleep. Woke for a delicious  breakfast and then into LA. Collected my luggage after 2 hours waiting in lines for security.  Quickly through and handed  case in for Denver.  Then the route march to terminal 7. 45 mins later I arrived in a lather and thru security again for my flight. Ticket wouldn't register so an anxious wait while they fixed it. Finally into Denver but no luggage. Had to wait another hour for it to arrive and then find the shuttle bus to take me to my accommodation.  Finally fell into bed at 10pm!!! Up for early shutt...

Sunday 8th June 2025. Edinburgh and now Oban, Scotland.

Image
 Arrived bright and early into Edinburgh and it felt like we were in a big warehouse. Certainly not flash, but so easy to get into Scotland,  took no time at all. Put my case into storage and took a bus into town. Bus driver was great and told me about the tourist spots. I walked around in the sun and checked out the castle and all the other monuments.  I even went to church and listened to the choir. Got back on the bus back to the airport and headed over to the Hampton hotel where I was getting picked up. Michael  had texted me to confirm pick up so all good.  Picked up with others and 3 hours later we arrived in Oban. Beautiful scenery.  The boat , the Flying Dutchman,  is much more rustic than all my other trips but food is great and again very well organised and of course this time I have my mate Marion from Melbourne and we've already paled up with Cathryn from Canada. We're drinking gin and tonics b4 we head back to the boat.  40 kms tomorr...

Tuesday 10th June, 2025. Crinan to Jura.

Image
 Boy I slept well after a big day. I was sooo cold and wet but recovered well after a hot shower and into dry clothes. Everything  was sopping and it was hard to find where to dry everything.  Fortunately today was sunny!! So we hung our clothes outside on the boat. They sailed after our bike ride. We did 27kms along the  Crinan canal and even watched a boat go in and out the locks. Ahh it took me back. A beautiful bike ride today. No hills and the sun was glorious.   We had lunch at Kilmartin and I had soup again. And an amazing hot chocolate.  We then did a few burial sites and some stones( much smaller than Stonehenge) We rode back to Crinan and off we sailed to Jura. Lovely smooth sailing and we played Phase 10. We sat outside to eat our delicious dinner( the food is wonderful on the boat) Unfortunately the midges came in so inside. We're  now over at the pub to check out our grog of choice!!! Beautiful  sunny weather predicted for tomorr...
