On board Viking Star. Venice to Athens

 It was a lovely surprise to find a welcome bottle of champagne and a special (gluten free!) cake waiting for us in our suite when we boarded the ship. The cabins are very comfortable and quite spacious, with a private balcony. 

We celebrated our joint 50th wedding anniversaries with cake and champagne in one of the lounge areas. The crew are all young and can't even imagine being married for 50 years...or at all, for some. We are quite a novelty, but not the oldest on board by a long shot.

The crew are all lovely and always ready to help in any way. We're still finding our way around the ship, there are so many restaurants that sometimes it's a bit tricky to remember where we agreed to meet for a meal.

    Glad to see you could celebrate your 50th’s in style. “What! And to the same person!!!” seems to be the response these days. What is the name of your boat?

Serenade to Venice

I think playing trumpet from the top of the Rialto Bridge, right in the heart of Venice, has been the highlight of our trip so far for Peter. The crowd fell silent as the notes of the theme from The Godfather drifted out over the Grand Canal, there was spontaneous applause when he finished, even some from the balconies of the surrounding hotels.

The watery streets of Venice

  Venice is amazing! Today we walked our legs off again, there are so many little laneways, amazing buildings, and of course the canals everywhere. So much to see. We've been practicing our Italian, which is getting us a few laughs. Everyone is so friendly, except perhaps the lady in the supermarket who was not happy when our card wouldn't work, lol. I don't know how many gondolas there are in Venice, but we seem to be surrounded by them wherever we go.

  Well, it's starting to get exciting. Only a few more weeks before we head off on the trip of a lifetime. We're busy planning and catching up with friends before we leave. But, you can't plan everything and sometimes it's the surprises that are the best part.
