This is Dubrovnik from the top of the mountain - the top picture of this cluster has our ship - the royal clipper in the center.

August 14 Dobrovnik - not our favorite place mainly due to the numbers of people and having a slightly artificial feel to the town - ie more touristy and less genuine. Still beautiful - but the best part are the scenic views from the cable car/gondola ride.

These are all from Kotor, Montenegro - our favorite place of the cruise. For HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy fans - Slartibartfast did a great job here - he liked fiords and this is the southernmost fiord in Europe - just unbelieveably gorgeous entrance. The town is old and cobblestoned. There are newer parts with casinios and we had one of the best meals at the waterfront there.

A quick sample of the best place so far - Kotor and Perast Montenegro

more Corfu

Corfu - also busy - but pretty - the private taxi ride was great

Mt Etna and the sunset

Stromboli - a volcanic island
sunrise
some random guys on top of a big tower on a boat
Mt Etna

More of Capri - with the sunset

Capri - although pretty - was overall not a very pleasant experience - the sunrise was wonderful - and the scenery was very nice but the crowds and people were unpleasant enough to make it a less desirable place to be

A Roman swimming pool - panorama of our boat at Ponza - then more of Ponza - the fisherman we had a ride from was great and non-english speaking - but very pleasant experience
