Last day of vacay! We docked in Venice this morning and took a boat tour to Murano, where we watched a glass-blowing demo and checked out the cathedral, which has a blown glass crucifix. Then it was off to another island, Burano, which is famous for its lace-making, and also its leaning church tower. We walked, shopped, ate a fast delish lunch at a sidewalk cafe, then headed to our airport hotel. Flying home tomorrow with a heart full of memories and a suitcase full of olive oil. #anniversarytrip #windsurf #windstarcruises

Our last port o’call was beautiful. We took a bus to Pula, a nearby town for an olive oil tasting, then a walking tour of old town Trogir, which is on the Istrian peninsula. We watched the ship’s sails unfurl, then had a final special anniversary dinner. The crew of Wind Surf was the best, most caring and efficient I’ve ever experienced. We loved our entertainment czar Matty O and had such fun meeting new friends playing trivia. Would 💯 book another trip with @windstarcruises. Next time? Maybe Portugal and Spain? #windsurf #windstarcruises

Today’s port was Trogir and Split, in Croatia. We had a sunny but chilly start. Toured Trogir and Split, saw the church of St. Lawrence, ran into an a capella group singing traditional Croat music, spied something like a pirate ship, and then some random costumed Roman types…back to the ship to witness an amazing sunset. After an amazing dinner we loved watching the crew talent show. Nineteen different nationalities represented with this talented crew, not the least of which was the wacky “synchronized swim team” made up of members of the housekeeping crew. Tomorrow is our last day at sea before we sail to departure point in Venice. In the meantime soaking up all the fun & brotherly love. #windsurf #windstarcruises #croatia #talentshow

Sailed into beautiful Dubrovnik this morning. We did a walking tour of the old walled town. It’s a city of churches, including this one behind the statue. Then we took a bus ride to a small family-owned winery, where we enjoyed the wines & excellent locally produced prosciutto, cheese, olives & bread. Cats know when you don’t like them & this little bugger would NOT leave me alone. But on the other hand, Mr. MKA’s grandfather was from Dalmatia, and right before we got on the tender to return to the ship, I spotted a friendly Dalmatian and had to give her a head scratch. The sun came out late afternoon so I lounged on the deck & immersed myself in @bonnie_garmus_author new novel Peck & Peck. I’ll be in conversation with her in Atlanta this Sunday! Also, our team won ‘80s music trivia tonight (second trivia win in a row!) Although we weren’t much help since I was busy having babies in the’80s. Thank Gawd our team members knew their Bananarama and their Wham! . #windsurf #windstarcruises #croatia
