So we decided to splurge with the hotel in Verona and Trieste a bit and boy is it nice......its like a vacation on our extended vacation......we got to this hotel here in Trieste, beautiful and right on the water. Jason sweet talked the receptionist (though he thought she said small king instead of smoking - his Italian is improving ...

... he is asking me if I am ok every minute and wont let me get out of bed to do anything. We have spent three days just doing nothing in the room but on sunday we went out for a walk and I seem to be getting better at one point I think that I wanted to come home but what difference does it make being here or at home. We have some sunshine now and I can just relax. <br><br>I have slept for nearly 14 hours ...

... to sit down as the pain was really getting to me. I knew then that I was going to faint I could tell after fainting a few times before everything goes weird and things start going fast I kinda thought I could stop myself but no joy. The next thing I knew Ian was trying to bring me round after putting me in the recovery position and had some tissue on my head as I had fell head first into 500 year old ...

... save some money I bought some food to eat in the room. We did not really do much today went back to the room after we had found a laundry for our clothes and then I cooked both me and Beebs a lovely chicken sunday dinner with potaoes and carrots and even found some stuff so that I could make Gravy sorry not much to say but we where so tired and just wanted to chill out.<br>

... joked around for awhile, Jeff suggested that we go up to the sundeck as we cruised into Rovinj. So we got dressed and headed topside. We didn't end up going directly to Rovinj, but instead anchored near a beach and island off of Koversada, a few miles north of Rovinj.<br><br><br>The guys were a little nervous about going to a bare beach so we first pulled out the water toys nearby and played around in the ...

... to but Ian thinks not. <br><br>We got to our place where we are staying Rovinj about 7 in the evening and found our hotel its a little appartment with kitchen as we need to get back on budget and not spend so much money we popped out to have a look around and ended up having 3 large steiner pints of beer it was fun and then just went to bed we are both exhausted after being up since 4am and travelling through 3 countries.<br>

... to make en route.<br><br>It took about an hour and a half to reach Ljubljana, Slovenia&#8217;s capital. From the highway, there were not clear signs pointing towards the center of the city, so, once again, it was kind of a **** shoot. After about thirty minutes of lucky guessing and a little backtracking, I finally spotted the castle and the pedestrian-only center of town. I lucked into a place to put my car (I hesitate to call it a parking spot ...

... in America was in Orlando. We spent the rest of our time trying to convince him that Orlando is not indicative of the US. <br><br>Back on the ship, Tyler was taking advantage of the sports deck that is dropped down anytime the ship is anchored. One can waterski, sail, kayak or just swim. <br><br>We said our goodbyes and went back to the ship. Cocktails at 7, followed by dinner and dancing. Another great day!<br>

... street in front of my wheels. The most harrowing point was when I was "forced" into a driveway in a very steep canyonish residential neighborhood. In trying to turn around, I had to back out up-hill away from the driveway into another. I almost ran through their gate with their dog peeping through the door crack. Then because the lane was so narrow, I had to make another even steeper turn backwards so I can point ...
