Friday - Dubrovnick

Anne took an early morning boat tour of the harbor and visited the old town. I went to the gym, ate a good -sized breakfast and hung out. Anne ate a quick boxed lunch after returning from her morning adventure, and set out for an afternoon tour of some gardens. I ate a late lunch, napped, read, and blogged. I was just not up for an expedition and enjoyed a very lazy day. Based on her accounts, the boat ride around the amazingly busy harbor was the highlight. As my photos will show, Dbrovnick is a very popular port and for good reasons. It is surrounded by islands and very friendly to mega yachts and cruise ships (though not as robust as Split where we were today.)

We ate again at the Chef’s Table, and this time the theme was “La Route Des Indes.” The focus was on spices like star anise and coriander, though the preparations were oddly overdone (first course of carrot and cardamom cream with orange and star anise foam). Chef over reaching! There was an excellent Pinot Noir from Germany

We will not be back. 

Movie in the room followed. Not recommended - The Nest with Jude Law, Carrie Coons, and Anne Reid - great cast, unintelligible story.

Debrovnick and Split feature prominently in the Games of Thrones - often mentioned - and which we have not seen.

Tuesday in Rome

This day did not go so well. It did start out ok - at 9 AM we got our rapid COVID tests required for reentry to the US ($50), and the results were negative. We got  GREEN PASSes! I'll keep it short. Isaia picked Anne up at 11 AM while I hung back in the hotel room. We planned to meet at 1:30 and go to lunch. I took a cab to the designated meeting place and waited... Eventually Isaia arrived and told me that he was having trouble communicating with Anne who was waiting for him outside a museum where he had left her to tour on her own. He asked me to see if I could connect with her. I tried, but the texts and phone calls were not going through. We waited. Eventually, after 45 minutes, I got a message from Anne - she had walked back to the hotel. So Isaia drove to the hotel and picked Anne up - she had waited outside the museum for him for an hour and was understandably annoyed. He had run into traffic problems. At our request he drove us to a restaurant that he recommended so we coul

After thoughts

Final photos posted - still readjusting to being home. I am happy that we went ahead with the trip in spite of the known (and always lurking unknown) obstacles that we encountered.  As long as COVID is still a public health concern, travel outside of the US will be more complex and risky. Of course the kind of places that we want to travel to are desperate for the tourists to come back, so we were welcomed everywhere we went. But being on a large, luxurious cruise ship built to host 980 passengers with only 480 on board posed a real challenge for the staff. The captain said that the ratio of crew to passenger was 1:1. Other than constantly cleaning this and that, it seemed that many were really looking for something to do. We received so many ‘good days and thank yous,’ I really wanted to sit them down and hear their stories of life while the cruise ships were idle. During the cruise portion of the trip, I learned a great deal about the tumultuous history of Malta and of the Balkans. A
