Knowing for sure that today was a holiday and that many things would be closed, we booked a shore excursion through the boat. We went to a small family owned vineyard. The property has been in the family for 20 years with them starting to make wine the last 7 years. It was such an interesting tour. They grow 4 types of grapes and all of the grapes are soft pressed to make the wine. The wines are also distilled in metal containers so they have a cleaner finish. We buy 3 bottles of wine and I am amazed how inexpensive they are.
It is during this tour, we meet a wonderful couple from Germany. It is fun to visit with them about their lives and what they have enjoyed most on the cruise.
While we are the youngest onboard the boat, we are finding if we are willing to visit with people and ask them questions, we can make fast friends. It also helps with the baby bump to talk about as an ice breaker.
This afternoon, we head back to the boat in time to swim in the Mediterranean. While the water is cold (not as cold as Montana's lakes and rivers), it is great to go for a swim and act like kids!
Travel tip: Swimming in the Mediterranean in November is possible but cold...go for it!
My representative Kevin was very responsive generally and in crafting our itinerary to our specific priorities.

Although there was a lot of paper work, I received help and guidance when I needed it.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.

I spoke with at least a half dozen other travel companies, looking for a Galapagos cruise that fit our schedule and budget. Some companies could manage one or the other, but Erin was the only one who could do both. She found us the perfect cruise, at a fantastic price! And she has been quick and patient with responses to my many questions. So far, Adventure Life has been a fantastic company to work with!
