180 MURDER QUEEN

It's simply beautiful, a retreat beloved by a
woman known throughout the world for her
page-turning fiction. Who doesn't know of her
endearing crime-solving characters: the spinster
busybody Miss Jane Marple and Hercule Poirot,
Margie Goldsmith
the fastidious, arrogant and mustachioed Bel-
gian detective?
186 LOŠINJ CROATIA

The Croatian coastline ranks among the one
of the most intricately indented coastlines
in the world. Of 1244 islands, islets, cliffs,
and reefs . One of them is Lošinj but finding
it on the map can be rather challenging.

196 CRUISE GONE BAD

It was our dream cruise from Miami that turned
into a nightmare. The first two days were fine, the
ship was beautiful, the food and drink were first-
rate, and the crew was professional and friendly.
We were happy cruisers – until.
