After a relaxing day at sea yesterday to rid us of the last bit of jetlag, we are enjoying another hot beautiful day! Santorini is beautiful. We made the decision to leave the cruise excursions again and go it alone. We drove the full island in our Smart Car and found all of the hot spots! We are now enjoying a beer and downloading our pics while we wait for the spectacular Santorini sunset!

Today we enjoyed the wonderful city of Dubrovnik.  The weather was amazing..again.  The city walls are completely walkable and provide some of the best viewpoints of the town and waterscape.  We enjoyed local beers with seafood snacks during the afternoon at the beach.  The water in Dubrovnik is known to be the clearest and cleanest in the Mediterranean.

Venice has been great.  Hot humid days have helped us adjust to the heat that we are going to continue to enjoy during our trip.  The city was amazing, and during our three days we were able to do much of the intricate maze of restaurants, shopping and architecture.  Internet on the boat is fairly slow .. so we will try to get a few photos up. No promises

Hi Everyone,

We had a great afternoon in Frankfurt amongst the WorldCup enthusiasts, and are now on our second day in Venice and aboard our ship the Millenium.  Look forward to pics and updates once we leave port tomorrow!

Ian and Val
