Korcula is a sweet port - we spent about 3 hrs walking and shopping - very pretty place we depart at 6 PM it is now 4 PM. - our tour of canals that JoAnn put in place in Venice was outstanding. I have no idea what happens to time on this cruise but it is flying!!! As Tom said, we are all having a wonderful time. Few light showers this afternoon but weather has been very nice. Tonight is Ngaire's second cocktail party and I think more names will be drawn for free cruise - some PVers were drawn last week. Yes, the very exciting news last night was Joanna's engagement to Mark. She has pretty ring and is sooo in love. A proposal in St Mark's Square very romantic - no idea what our port in Albania will offer but think I will treat it as a sea day. There are children on this week but I have no comment except to say, I'd never bring small kids on this cruise line - whoops, guess I made a comment. 7 of them with water wings in the pool yesterday and 4 in hot tub all under age ten I would guess.... Nap time for me getting cranky thinking about it.- more later - Marcie we just have not gone into VL - it seems dark and small and with so many we all seem to enjoy back of HL outside at night - we meet in OL every night at 6:30 and then on to dinner - crew is wonderful but boy they seem to be worked to death - first cruise where I have felt this - no specifics just the feeling I have - smiling faces but not sure they are happy faces.
