The rest of the gang wanted to chill by the pool so I went on an excursion to the national park by myself. It was nice to get out into the natural world again. Like all the other ports we had visited, Split has an old quarter and, when I returned, there was still time to explore it.
This area has been compared with the Norwegian fjords. It was nowhere near as spectacular but it was still very pretty. We had booked an off-road trip across the national park but, unfortunately, it had to be cancelled it so we went on a coach trip instead. Kotor has an old city which we explored.
Coming into Dubrovnik harbour, I was reminded of driving above it back in 1971 when it was still part of Yugoslavia. It is a place I have always wanted to visit. Tore, Heidi, Torolf and I decided to walk the entire city wall while Bo and Vera explored the city itself. The walk was well worth the effort and we had some stunning views.
Torolf and I walked round the old city whilst Tore and the ladies went shopping.
Day 5 was spent at sea. Although I have been to Greece many times, I had never been to Corfu and was looking forward to the visit. Unfortunatley the weather was not good so we didn’t spend too long ashore.
