Sail away

It was raining and a bit chilly as we waited in a nearby cafe to board our cruise boat. A bit disappointing as we were hoping for a swim in the Adriatic. After booking on and going through the formalities and being shown to our cabin, we were served lunch. Breakfast and lunch are included. Lunch was delicious - broccoli soup, chicken, rice and mushrooms with a sauce and cherry strudel and ice cream. We were sated!! We were on a table with a group of Aussies, a couple from Melbourne and a couple from Adelaide, a young American man (who had lived in Australia for 12 months) and a German woman. We had a lot of laughs. After lunch we motored on to Makarska which we reached just after 5. We stayed quite close to the coast all the way and it was calm seas. Once we docked we left the boat to look around. It is yet another gorgeous town. We walked along the coast to the point where we saw the most beautiful sunset. The mountains were swathed in cloud and the sky was red and yellow and reflecting off the low cloud. We found the rest of the table group at a wine bar, had a drink and then dinner at one of the recommended restaurants. It was delicious. It is quite exciting being on a cruise, and we are hoping for a sunny day tomorrow. After all we have trimmed our koala ears ready for togs!!
