About this blog

We're continuing on from our tour of Northern Europe in part 1. We'll meet up with the yacht in Bordeaux, France and continued our journey around Spain, through the Balearic Islands, along the French Riviera, the Italian Riviera and down to the Amalfi Coast. While the yacht travels to Venice, we'll visit Rome and from Venice travel down the Croatian Coast, Montenegro, and Greece. We'll bounce around the islands of Greece, Crete and Rhodes to end up in Istanbul. If time permits, we'll cross the Mediterranian to Egypt and visit Malta on our way back to Genoa before catching a Yacht Transport ship to the Caribbean for the winter, and the beginning of part 3 of our travels.
