Our journey to Croatia last week began with a ferry trip. We drove a few hours south to Ancona, Italy and then took an overnight ferry to Split, Croatia. How cool is that? As we left Ancona we were able to enjoy a beautifully colorful sunset on one side of the ferry and an equally amazing full moon rise on the other.
Warm Adriatic Sea breezes washed over us as we enjoyed the twilight on the top deck of the ferry. Then, off to bed in our little 4 bunk cabin and woke up the next morning in a new country - what a way to travel!

That must be just the nicest way to travel, planes are really over-rated, aren't they? :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I traveled by boat, I was amazed how tiny the cabins are! Makes me appreciate my house. Beautiful photos, BTW, There's something wonderful about watching the sun set and the moon rise at the same time. Enjoy yourself, and happy CED!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say thanks for visiting my blog and from your photos...WOW! Looks like you are a having a great time...woohoo! I'm also an American, but now living full-time in Tuscany :)
ReplyDeleteI want to take that ferry someday. What a lovely sunset photo!
ReplyDeleteKat - love the photo essays! My favorite part of traveling by boat was falling asleep in one country & waking up in another.
ReplyDeleteThe sunset is gorgeous. The moon shot is wistful. Enjoyed them both. :)
