我們的最後一天郵輪回Venice,清晨時郵輪緩緩的駛進,划過St. Mark’s Square,進入西岸的港口,沿途欣賞寧靜的Venice,跟白天的Venice是大大的不同。   下船後我們回St. Mark’s Square,恰巧碰到一年一度的San Marco Day,城裡掛滿了旗幟,四處都有活動和競賽,我們慢慢走路逛回Piazzale Roma車站,體驗威尼斯小街裡的各式商店跟擁擠的人潮。旅程就在這車站畫下一個完美的句點。
郵輪到Zadar,可惜沒法停靠城內的港口,因為船位跟交通的壅擠,Zadar在城外約20分鐘車程處新建了一個港口,2015剛啟用,沒法步行進城內是美中不足之處。我們今天還是戶外行程為主,所以去了國家公園。克羅埃西亞有許多著名的國家公園,Zadar鄰近Krka, Kornai, 和Paklenica,我們選擇Krka。先搭船進去,步行非常容易,遊覽車再從另一頭接我們,很輕鬆。
Day 14: cruising into Adriatic Sea Day 15: 郵輪今天抵達Montenegro的Kotor,一早約6:00開始進入陸地上升後的類峽灣地形,是第一個賣點。Kotor位於峽灣底,四周高山環抱,舊城倚山而建,是第二賣點。從Kotor到Lovcen National Park的路途險峻風景雄偉,是第三大賣點。這種好地方絕對不可以錯過。舊城內部古色古香,隨意逛逛購物也很有趣,如果有時間跟腳力,可挑戰一千多階的城牆步道,沿山壁而上,到頂有美景獎賞。
郵輪此站停靠Sicily島上Messina,我們並沒有時間停留市內,直接搭遊覽車去參觀歐洲最高活火山Etna跟小城Taormina。Enta是歐洲最高的活火山,海拔高達3329公尺,山下穿短袖,山上可得穿夾克,山頂有許多火山口噴發頻繁,滿是火山岩,都四月底了雪都還沒完全融化。
接下來7天都是郵輪的行程,從羅馬(Rome/Roma)上威尼斯(Venice/Venezia)下,停Naples, 西西里(Sicily)島Messina,蒙特內哥羅(Montenegro) Kotor, 克羅埃西亞(Croatia) Zadar。
