First by Land, Then by Sea
Jill and I traveled from Venice to the seaport city of Triest, where we boarded the Oosterdam to begin our 7-day Greek Enchantment cruise. Before we set sail, though, I enjoyed a virtual tour in Trieste.

My buddy Craig took me on a boat ride around Fool Hollow Lake. "Do you know the history of this lake?" he asked. I didn't, but I soon learned about the town beneath the lake and a spirit that floats over the water at night!
