Dubrovnik Croatia & Home | Marella Explorer 2 | Adriatic Delights | Solo Cruise
Home time after my week long solo Adriatic Cruise and its we returned to Dubrovnik Croatia on board the Marella Cruises cruise ship Marella Explorer 2
It was departure day, so after one last walk around the ship, leaving Marella Explorer 2 and going through immigration it was off to the airport.
On the way back sit on the opposite side to the driver so you get views of Dubrovnik Old Town - awesome.
Then we had a short wait in the airport before my excellent Adriatic adventure came to an end.

Day 5 of my week long solo Adriatic Cruise and its our second port of call in Italy, and another new one for me, the port of Ancona, on board the Marella Cruises cruise ship Marella Explorer 2 Ancona has a lot of Roman History including the 1,900 year old Arch of Trajan. For the best views of the city head up to the Duomo. I found a lift which made that a bit easier. As well as views of the por...

    I lived in China for 5 yrs. They have an 80K network of 305 km/hr HSR. Tracks are smooth, only motion is forward with smooth braking and acceleration. Mayor of Quebec City is asking for TGV to TO-I think it should go further to Chicago. Reg. track has you moving in 6 directions simultaneously causing motion sickness.

Vancouver's subway cost 6.5X more than bus but it's 100X better. It goes over and above traffic. Only a helicopter would be faster.

    Thanks for this, Gary, it was very useful. We've never cruised before and are due to go on the 28th! (Explorer one) I saw you booked to go into Zadar, how necessary do you think it is to buy these trips on the ship? Is it possible (usually or ever) to just get off the ship and do it yourself? Thank you.

    • @gary_travels
      @gary_travels 2 місяці тому

      Firstly thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it. I’ve been on Explorer 1 as well - it’s slightly different than 2, but just as good. You can definitely just get off the ship and do your own thing in a lot of ports. In the case of Zadar they offered a shuttle bus for £6, but if there’s a few of you a taxi might work out cheaper. The old town was a long way to walk from the ship. However for all the other ports this cruise I just got off and had a walk. However it is worth checking out the ship’s tours as well - I met plenty of people who went on tour to Venice, the waterfalls and Slovenia - not something I’d risk in my own. People do book independent tours as well, which can be cheaper, but the ship only guarantees to wait for delayed Marella trips. As a tip if they offer a walking tour of the port I take that as a sign you can walk it yourself. Also check out street view on Google Maps to see where you dock. Mostly though have a great time!!
