After Greece, meaning Katakolon and Corfu, the next port was Kotor, a very beautiful long sail towards Kotor. The Bay of Kotor is long, curls around a corner ( almost like a Fjord) till you get there.
Kotor belongs to Montenegro( means Black Mountain) a relatively new country from the old Yugoslavia.
Very Medieval city, with walls going steeply up the mountain and coming down and has a moot around the city too.
After Kotor was Croatia, Split where we saw the famous Krka National park with its waterfalls.
After that was Venice, but we stayed onboard, for the new 4 days cruise, designed for Europeans short holiday. This was the ship going to Zadar, in Croatia. I stayed onboard because I had a very sore foot.
The next day the ship went back to Kotor, so we saw more of Kotor, had better weather and enjoyed it. Went to the day trip to the island that was manmade. You can see it when you get in the long sail .
The next port of call was Ravenna and a day trip to the tiny country of " San Marino". Click the link below to see our collection of best photos of the whole cruise.

Back to Venice after that and we stayed 2 nights in Venice , checking the city out on foot and then flew home with Emirates.
This is the end of the cruise. 2019 .
2020 will see new trips: March South island with the Motorhome, seeing the Catlins, Dunedin and July Melbourne to meet our new grandson,( from Jos and Rachel) and in September 14th onwards we visit Aaron and Alice and the 2 granddaughters, and on our way back to Israel for 3 weeks, then fly home from there via Seoul to NZ. These are our plans but the Lord is in control of our future.
