Hello Terry,

After reading your posts and looking at all the photos, it's given me some great ideas of what to do here in Dubrovnik. I was wondering how long did the walking tour around the city walls take? We were planning to do that in the morning.

And then take the cable car ride up to the mountain top in the afternoon. Is there many places to see up there? And is the restaurant Komarda also up there, or is it located near the city walls??

I am not sure if we will do the cab ride, as we are 6 people in our group, unless we can get a minivan to fit us all together. If so, we could do that in the afternoon too.

Thanks for sharing your ideas,

Hello Terry,

Just wanted to thank you for posting those amazing photos of Venice. We will certainly explore this wonderful city by walking on our own. I was wondering if you recommend anything to do in the evening in Venice, as our ship is overnighting. Have you taken the gondola ride in the day or evening?

We are going on the Solstice May 11-2012 leaving from Barcelona with a group of friends.

And I am planning all our "what to do" in each port. I have already been to Rome and Naples, twice before, so I have those days planned for our friends. For Venice and Dubrovnik (saw your great pics on your thread and got some great ideas - thanks), we are planning to tour and walk on our own. As for La Spezia, perhaps a ferry boat or train tour of the five villages, Les Cinque Terre and then on foot in each village.

The only other two ports is Ajaccio and Toulon, France which I am researching now.

Thanks for sharing your info and photos,
