Krka National Park (Day 8, Mar 24)

We left Dubrovnik in the morning with a long travel day ahead of us. The bus is comfortable though and they make sure we have enough stops. A final shot on our way out of Dubrovnik:

We made a quick stop in the town of Ston, a small town just over 50 km (31 mi) from Dubrovnik. It's known for one of the largest defensive walls in Europe, along with salt and oysters.

This was one of the days that included a lunch. We stopped at a place called Etnoland for what was called a "light lunch," but actually had ham, chicken, potatoes, apple and cherry pie, and coffee. Not many pictures with this, but here's the dining room:

Next highlight was Krka National Park. I'm not much one for the outdoors, but this was a really interesting place. The Krka river provides hydroelectric power and there are a series of waterfalls along the trail.

Back on the bus to our hotel in Vodice. Gate 1 books some pretty great hotels, but this one--the Hotel Olympia--was the most luxurious so far.

Only one night at this place, but it's not easy to get into town so that's OK. Tomorrow we tour Zagreb on a long drive to Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Bled and Ljubljana (Day 10, Mar 26)

Our hotel is only steps away from Lake Bled . So naturally, I was up early to take a walk around the lake. Bled Castle Assumption of Mary Church . You're going to see a lot of these. Bled Castle View of the Julian Alps Sunrise behind the church Crucifix in a carved niche on the side of the mountain. Another view of the church Our hotel (Hotel Park) is the darker building. Not much to look at, but the location was great, the buffet was good, and the room was comfortable. Morning view I'm glad I got up early to do this but while flat and easy, the walk around the lake was longer than I thought at 6 km (3.7 mi). I had to hustle towards the end to make it back in time for breakfast. And I'm not much of a hustler. After breakfast we got on the bus which took us to Bled Castle , the oldest castle in Slovenia.

Zadar (Day 4, Mar 20)

A lot of bus travel today. We left Opatija about 815 am and drove down to Zadar. With stops, it took about four hours and I'll have to admit that I slept on the bus. Zadar is the oldest continuously inhabited city in Croatia, known for its Roman and Venetian artifacts. It's also a port town, which I only saw through the bus windows as we left. Our tour began walking along the "peninsula" of the Old Town. This was one of our first sights--the boat is ferrying people across the inlet from the Old Town to the residential areas. This circular monument is the Greeting to the Sun . It absorbs light during the day and at night gives off a light show. This is the sound of the Sea Organ . It is really cool. Along the Waterfront Roman artifacts near the Forum Roman Forum with Church of St. Donatus on the left and the Cathedral of St. Anastasia to the right. Fe and a Roman Column We can't get over how there are Roman artifacts everywhere. Queen Jelena Ma...

Venice, Part 2 (Day 12, Mar 28)

So much for hope--it's still raining today. Today we have our guided tour and gondola ride. First we went to Murano island, famous for its glasswork. The glass factory This is only that last bit of what the craftsman did, but he finished this in less than a minute. Murano Lighthouse Rainy square Walking on the platforms (that I thought were for taking pictures). Another leaning tower in Italy--San Giorgio Dei Greci I'm glad we pushed ourselves yesterday to see the square when there was sun because today there was none--the rain was actually worse. We got to the gondolas and while i saw none that were running, they were willing to take us out in the downpour. What really killed it though was that the stone steps you needed to get into the gondola were at least a foot underwater. So we decided to cancel it and we should be getting a refund from Gate 1. We did get to look around the city some and we had a nice lunch and dessert. Fe's tiramisu and...
