just call me Judith Charmers!

In case you don't understand the title of this post....there was once a holiday programme on British TV and the lucky presenter, who traveled all over the world was called Judith Charmers...
So in my last post I was sunning myself in Kephalonia with Hubby....a glorious holiday.
I was back for three days and then I was off on my travels again.
This time on a River Cruise with my mum.

We arrived in Prague via Amsterdam airport, Tired but ready for our first full day in the city.
What a stunning city it is! I loved it, the buildings are fantastic.

































The photos are a bit mixed up as some were taken with my phone and the others on my camera.
Then we traveled by coach to Nuremberg where we boarded the ship for our cruise down the Danube....more of that in another post I think (Be warned, lots more buildings!!!)
Our ship the Regina Rheni

I'm Back!

Yes back from my travels.......six planes, seven countries and a ship!

I will explain over the next few posts, I still have two weeks holiday from school so I might just get some blog posts done in that time!

First was a fantastic holiday in Kephalonia with Hubby.(I can cross it off my list!)
Foki Bay
It has been on my list of places to visit since 1994 when I read Captain Corelli's Mandolin. It did not disappoint.
Fiskardo
We stayed in the north of the island just up the hill from Fiskardo. This part of the island escaped destruction in the huge earthquake of 1953. As we had a hire car we managed to explore lots of the island, only really missing the very south coast.






We picked lemons from a tree in an abandoned garden, went on a rowing boat into a cave, fought big waves in Myrtos beach, ate many delicious meals al fresco, visited ruins of houses destroyed in the earthquakes, watched turtles in Argostoli bay, tickled lots of friendly feral cats, dreamed about buying and doing up an abandoned villa or two, had a scary drive up a road that looked like half of it had slipped down the steep hill on one side, went swimming in the warm pool at 8pm, listened to the cicadas, crawled along behind a herd of goats, and looked at the Ancient Acropolis of Same and the Roman cemetery in Fiskardo.

Bee hives everywhere
We climbed high above the clouds!
Butterflies everywhere too!


We had such a wonderful holiday (I could easily do a few posts about it I took so many photos but decided to go for it and just do one long one!) I was home three days before I went away on holiday with my mum.
I would love to return one day but as hubby says there are still many beautiful places to see so it may be a while before we go back.
