At Sea – En Route to Dubrovnik

The Internet continues to be unbearably slow. I’m glad we have “free” access – I wish they would find a way to get more bandwidth for the ships. The only time you have a fighting chance is when there are very few people on line – early in the morning, late at night or when people are off the ship for excursions. I think having wifi in the suites has made the issue worse. I will post in a few segments in hope of getting things uploaded.

Fall has come to the Aegean. The temperatures are 20 degrees cooler this week – in the high 60s and low 70s. I can’t imagine wandering about in the summer when the temps stay well over 100 for weeks on end and it’s high tourist season with thousands and thousands of tourists everywhere – I don’t do very well in really hot weather. We are having a great cruise. Ngaire’s back to back cruise next spring should be a wonderful way to see some of the islands.

Ngaire: Engelbert says hello and so does Elda. We had dinner with them last night.

Maria: The Greek Islands are truly spectacular and well worth a visit. Here’s a little eye candy for you. These are from Santorini – all from the village of Oia. We will definitely come back here just to visit Santorini –about an hour into our visit I started wandering in and out of hotel lobbies collecting cards and brochures for future reference
