Marco - Polo!
Today, I share with my wonderful trip to Croatia. Dubrovnik had always been on my LIST, and I soon discovered that there is so much more to see in Dalmatia - especially on a small ship, hopping from one fascinating island to another.
There were just 26 guests onboard and every day we dropped anchor in hidden ports far off the beaten path. We ate the local fair,
drank the local wine
, swam, hiked and explored. Every day we learned so much about the people and fascinating history.
One of my favourite stops was the island of
Korčula
. The walled city by the same name dates back to the 12th century and is a warren of
medieval squares, churches, palaces and houses, including the birth house of my ultimate role model, Marco Polo. Who knew! I've always admired his sense of adventure and curiosity, which I believe is alive in all of us.
So pour yourself a glass of Croatian wine (if you can find it), sit back and enjoy these pictures of our adventure along the Dalmatian coast.
