Kozma does Europe/et al: September 2009

The Start of A Great Adventure

We started in Italy with a little boating, shopping and beaching.

Well, we started in Italy. Met Rick and Dianne, did some brushing up on our boating skills, saw the sights, shopped and visited another country (San Marino). Whew! Vacationing is hard work.

The David is really big (this is a replica in the main square in Florence). Notice the resemblance.

Italy and the sights!

I'm ready for the cruise, but first I had to go to the beach, the designer outlets and Lake Como! I loved Bellagio!

Italy was great. You have to go to Lake Como. No sightings of George, but we had our own George with us!

The Castelmoron and Crew

With Dave at the helm, all is right with the world.

Remember, Safety first! Always wear your life vest (if you sink when you get in the water).

We are on our way.

The first project was to find a sleeping spot in the shade.

The Crew (mostly) needed dinner in a lovely town, Buzet. Unfortunately, they didn't share.

We are getting the hang of it.

I trained Keith to take over for the captain.

Sleep is very important so you can be ready and able when the captain calls.

I also had a crackerjack crew who quickly refreshed their skills and got us on our way in ship shape. Not once did we hang from the side of a lock!

It was beautiful.

Some of our sights along the way

We are getting to be old hands at this now. We pulled into charming towns, met other wildlife (don't they know they should be wearing their life vests?), and generally enjoyed ourselves!

The good ship Castelmoron treated us well in the end. I was a lovely cruise. Great friends really made all the difference. (Please note the perfect form of OUR Dockettes, versus those shoddy others!)
