Jerry and Susan’s Excellent Adventures

We left from Bodrum with our group of 9 aboard Capricorn 1. Skipper Eron and the crew--Omar, Mehmet, Buse, Chef, and Girl with no name--did all the work. We sailed past ancient ruins, swam every day in silky buoyant water, took a boat trip up the Dalyan Strait, had a snack under a huge bougainvillea at La Boheme in Dalyan, ended at the Resa Hotel in lovely Gocek. The Ellises got a full apartment and our room was a closet. Huge breakfast, then a flight to London.

Miserable experience with Budget car rental at TGD (Podgorica) airport (waiting, paperwork, etc). Hotel Santa Boka in Perast. Kotor Old Town - so charming, so many cats. Jerry drove the Kotor Serpentine like a boss. Pedicure and haircut at an all-Russian spa. Maestral Resort & Casino is so nice, we want to go back. Beach, pool, saunas, indoor waterworks. One of our favorite breakfasts. Next time we should add Sveti Stefan, the private island. Same owner as Maestral. One of the prettiest beaches ever.

The Wyndham Grand Hotel had the best basement sauna and pool. Food tour with Judy www.deliciouspoland.com or eatpolsk.com The best coffee was Cafe Charlotte. Restaurant on the food tour: Goschinna Chata. 

Superb :: Schlossel Hotel :: New favorite 

Pulla Bakery for the best cinnamon rolls.

Random hookups with Kim & Garry (and kids), Loretta and Scott (and kids). We liked 71 Nyhaven hotel but next time let's do the Admiral Hotel. Copenhill, Copenhot sauna. Bike with Mike. Everyone loves the anti-trump badge. Smoresbrod from Domhusets takeaway.

Norway is the country of supermodels. King Harald died while we were in Bergen. Wonderful walks and a tram to the top. Next time, let's stop at the Dale factory outlet and stay at Opus Hotel. 

The cleanest, quietest city we've ever seen. Huge outdoor concert in front of the royal palace. Hotel Christiana was fine. Excellent bike tour and a fantastic sculpture park. The opera house, the maritime museums, the ferries.

A+ pedicure and a giant walkabout before the cruise.

Loved the castle and the cliffs.
