Super, super!

Intriguing history, amazing beaches, world-class hotels
I love visiting Crete, especially a bit off season, when it's much less crowded, but the weather's still great. There's a lot of truly relaxing, world-class hotels. You can find the best deals on sites that aggregate offers, such as holidare.com.

We always look forward to your blogs!
Greece still remains my favorite country. It is like living in a postcard. Particularly loved the photo of the mobile phone and the mule. We have not been there since 2003 and would love to return. Looking forward to your next installment. We enjoyed our time in Crete.

Amalfi!
Was getting a bit nervous in the reading that you didn't like the Amalfi Coast....but, sounds like you 'got it' once you took it all in. Still one of the top 5 spots we have ever been to....the sheer magnitude of the mountains and houses intermixed was breathtaking. We took a bus down the crazy, twisty turns of the mountain side and had to reverse to get around a couple of turns and we even clipped a passing vehicle around another, but all in a day in the life there! Neither the driver of the bus nor the other vehicle even stopped to check out the damage! It was an experience, but well worth the prize of the amalfi coast at the end.

Love your take
Describes the Amalfi coast perfectly.. great writing!

Greenland
Unfortunately, no :( We missed northern Norway (due to a hurricane) and Greenland (due to too many icebergs and too high of swell). The shipmates, in general, were pretty let down, but we did hit Newfound Land and New Brunswick, on the way back to NY. It was a neat cruise overall, but we really missed Greenland. We absolutely LOVED Iceland. One of the greatest places we've been to. Wide open, as you know, and lovely setting. Weather was perfect and already planning on returning. Loving the blogs....can't wait for the next one. We, too, hope the old guy is doing okay after the fall down the steps :-( Good that you were there to lend a hand...

Nice!
One of the main cities atop our bucket list! Thanks for sharing.

Love the poem Penny!

"Nice" one !
Very entertaining & fun blog that definitely grasp the vibe of Nice & great poem too (that was a pleasant surprise when reaching the end of the blog!) As a side note, no worries for most French too (and i am one of them) you need to have sand on the beach, only in places where there is only rocks people would pretend it is perfectly normal! safe travel :-)

Poem, pounds and sand
Excellent poem, Penny, had me smiling through it. Great photos as usual--that harbor shot is a knock-out! I spent a year traveling around Europe and easily put on 10 pounds. Outside the Alps and the Dolomites, I just meandered, munched and billowed out. I too was shocked at the stone beach so would take the train to the sand beach at Cannes. May the sun be with you!

Ahhhh
So does Annecy far outshine Colmar and Eguishiem?? Sounds like it, although they were very gorgeous too! Did you deliberately put the reflection shot in upside-down? Am I paying attention, or have I made a mistake? All the photos are Gorgeous!! Particularly love the light reflections on Penny's leg!!! Thanks for the photo of the Yeates' with the Davis'. So good that you could meet up! Thanks for another visit to your wonderland of travel. xxx
