2024 Zadar Sunset

One of the great experiences of my Adriatic Cruise has been the sunsets, the Zadar Sunset is amazing.

Zadar Sunset 2024

It is worth a trip to Zadar just to experience it. If you don’t believe me then believe Alfred Hitchcock

Alfred Hitchcock said : ” Zadar has the most beautiful sunset in the world, more beautiful than the one in Key West in Florida, applauded at every evening. ” Those were his very words during his stay in May 1964.

There are other reasons to visit Zadar, will share more later.

More sunsets to come, and even a sunrise.. 🙂

Oro @ Cipriani

One of the accidental benefits of this trip was the opportunity to celebrate a friend’s 21st, well maybe a multiplier more, birthday.

As my friend is not exactly frugal or the retiring type he picked Oro at the Cipriani.

Being a restrained and bashful type, we allowed the guest of honour to decide on the venue and, as it was his birthday, the wine pairing as well.

Saint Marco’s Square

Let’s start with Venice. I chose the Rialto Experience Hotel due to its location. The hotel is next to the Rialto Bridge

2024 George Town – Penang

A short while ago a few friends and I went on a foodie weekend trip to George Town on Penang Island in Malaysia. I have been living in Singapore for over 12 years and I never been to George Town before, what a fool I have been. George Town is a foodie bucket list destination and definitely worth more than one visit. It is also close, only a bit over a 1 hour flight from Singapore.

George Town, Malaysia, Penang

We stayed at the Eastern & Oriental which is an old colonial hotel on the water in George Town. Nice rooms, great bar and a lot of history.

2024 Mediterranean Cruise

My 2024 holiday is, surprise, another cruise, this time it will be my first time in the Mediterranean. Other firsts will be my first trips to Italy, Greece, Croatia and Montenegro. I booked this back to back cruise whilst on my Asian Odyssey. My first port of call will be Venice, Italy.

Getting to Venice

Taking the “hard” way to get to Venice, flying on Emirates via Dubai. I got lucky and was able to book the flights on points. Emirates have always looked after me before so looking forward to a positive start to the trip.
