Greets from Dubrovnik, Croatia

Being the geography buff [NOT!] I had to look at a map to see where Croatia is compared to Italy.

The train took us to Bari, Italy for one day where Tim lined up a personal tour guide. We toured Castle Monte, a Cathedral, Alberrobella [pic by the water spicket in the village of Truli - stone cottages] and small fishing village before eating lunch of various RAW seafood......hmmmmm, don't need to go back for octopus, sea urchin, nokki, mussels or squid anytime soon - refer to one of the new pics for a small sample.....yum????? We boarded an overnight ferry to cross the Adriadic Sea to Dubrovnik Croatia - absolutely beautiful scenery, weather and friendly residents. Looking into the Adriadic is like looking into a freshly cleaned aquarium. The last two pics from this post come from the balcony of our hotel room (The Dubrovnik Imperial Hilton ~ thanks AGAIN Petey).

We rented a car so not sure where Tim is taking me next. Maybe I should have watched the movie Planes, Trains and Automobiles??????

Okay, now it's my turn to get in a word (edge-wise). I have to mention that our glamorous train travel was anything but as it turned out to be an InterCity train. With me as tour guide "extraordinaire" we got onto the wrong car (number 1) and had to navigate through 14 cars while the train was moving (and with our baggage) to get to our couchette (sleeper car) ~ Arrrrrgh! Globe-trotting is not always without a hitch or two. I do know this however, when PJ said "for better or for worse" she must have meant it. We are still together and happy as can be ~ yeah!!!!!

Ciao, for now. We'll be back in a day or two from our next stop.
