We arrived at the boat today, dropped our bags and boarded the vessel. The ships are all tied along the pier one next to another which makes for an interesting boarding experience! You cross from one vessel to another to reach the one you are on. The cabins on the MS Ambassador were nicer than I expected. The beds were very comfortable, and the …

We enjoyed a late breakfast and a late start to a guided tour of the city of Dubrovnik. I was thankful as due to the jetlag I found myself wide awake still at midnight and slept until almost 8:30. We wandered around a guided tour of the city for about an hour and a half. At first, I was a little amiss to put in the headset that allows you to hear …

This morning we left early from Slano for the island of Sipan, a small island village that used to be a big vacation home place for locals in summer. We were supposed to go visit Mljet National Park, but due to high winds, we were unable to reach it and had to reroute. Sipan has some lovely old homes, some dating from the 14th century, many of …

Dipping in the Med waters was refreshing (chilly yes, but such that it took my breath away after the first jump). I swam around the cove …

Today the sun blesses us with her presence yet again, so we motor across the bay and stop for another swim spot near Stonica Beach on the island of Vis. We are again feeling very lucky to have such good weather after the start of the week. Vis had a strategic military location over the centuries due to its size and location, was used as a base for …

Today we have two stops on the docket. We first stop at the island of Brac, where the town of Bol sits, which boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in all of Croatia. This is the location for some of the main cover photos touting Croatia’s beauty on travel brochures. We walk along the promenade along the coastline to Golden Horn Beach, a …

We travel today south towards Split, stopping for a swim stop on the way. The clouds and wind have rolled back in so we hesitate to get in this time! I can now say I swam in the Mediterranean, so I stay on board and watch others brave the cold.

We enter Split after lunch and enjoy a short guided tour of Split at 3 PM. The main attraction here is …
