I will be flying to Paris and then to Venice, I´ll overnight and get onboard of the Splendour of the Seas. I can´t say why, but I feel that this one will be a good experience.  It will be 11 weeks of Greece, Turkey, Croatia and Venice (every Friday).  

I met some really nice Danish girls in Itacare, who visited me afterwards in Cordoba. One night in Itacare we went out for seafood. After a delicious meal, Marie went to use the bathroom and moments later emerged stating that there was water all over the floor in the bathroom and there must be a …

Now I don't want to seem at all arrogant! (that wouldn't be like me at all aye... lol) but I thought I knew a thing or two about international travel!  Turns out, always something new to learn.  I blindly let the travel agent lead me and didn't think to double check connections and the ro…
