• From Greece To Albania

    Days 45 and 46 (Dan’s comments are italicized) And so, our last day on Corfu had arrived. We struggled with what to do for at least 10 seconds then decided to try a different beach before wandering around Old Town one last time. This time, we caught a bus to Benitses which had green mountains

    Corfu part 2

    Days 43 and 44 (Dan’s comments are italicized) We decided to have a different experience today as we were starting to feel withdrawals, having not been on a boat for a while! Corfu has ties to the age of piracy so you can sail along part of the island on a ‘pirate ship’ Typically, I’m

  • Corfu

    Corfu

    Days 41 and 42 (Rhia’s comments are italicized) Sticking with the theme of staying in the “old town” portion of the cities we visit, we booked our room in Kerkyra. The charm of this old city has been reinforced with LOTS of great restaurants, shops, and dessert places, all set up in the narrow streets,

  • Traveling to GREECE

    Traveling to GREECE

    Days 39 and 40 (Dan’s comments are italicized) What a day! It took 24 hours from leaving our Airbnb in Naples to getting to our Airbnb in Corfu! But we’re in Greece, one of my favorite places and where I always went to heal from what life threw at me. Saying goodbye to Naples was

  • POMPEII

    POMPEII

    Days 37 and 38 (Rhia’s comments are italicized) Continuing with the theme of places destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, we visited a little known place called Pompeii. ๐Ÿค” It was built starting from about the 8th century BC until August 24, 79 AD. About 90% of Pompeii (that we know about today) was

    Frenzy and Recovery

    Days 35 and 36 (Dan’s comments are italicized) And so, it was time to go to Rome. We’d booked a tour of the Colosseum that included the Colosseum floor and underground so I was very excited as I’d been wanting to do this for 38 years. Sadly, it was cancelled the day before (supposedly because

  • Naples and Hurculaneum

    Days 33 and 34 (Rhia’s comments are italicized) First off, Naples is bigger than I expected. And the motor cycle drivers here are absolutely crazy. There is barely enough room on these medieval lanes for cars to drive. Yet the motorbikes will pass on the left or right (often at the same time) at double

    And Away We Go.

    Days 31 and 32 (Dan’s comments are italicized) Our time in beautiful Porto Venere with my lifelong friend is coming to an end. But, intent on not wasting a minute, we spent our last day doing something you’d never expect us to. We went on a ferry (this time to Lerici) and climbed up loads

  • The Last Days of Porto Venere

    Days 29 and 30 (Dan’s comments are italicized) What a wonderful time we’ve had over the last couple of days. It was a perfect mix of boat rides, exploring new places, sunbathing, and hiking! The first day, we took a hop-on hop-off ferry to four beautiful little villages built into the mountains. Something that fascinated

  • Exploring Porto Venere

    Days 27 and 28 (Rhia’s comments are italicized) Relaxing in Porto Venere resumed with a cool day spent on the beach. It was just what we needed and we slowed down a LOT. The relaxation continued with a delicious meal at the Spagettaria. YUM!. Later, I decided to go explore the steps that Rhia did
