Barcelona, Spain April 9, 2017

Today is the end of one segment and the beginning of another.   There is not a big turnover as more than 250 passengers  are staying on for the next cruise.  The ship offered several tours for the continuing passengers as they really prefer that we get off the ship.  Tom had signed up for a winery tour but decided to cancel and stay on the ship to rest.  Noel took a very fast bus tour of the city, it was so quick that it was difficult to even get photos.   We only made a couple short stops for photos and we were back on the ship in time for lunch.   Since we had been to Barcelona previously there really wasn't much we wanted to see.  The next segment is going to be very busy with a different city every day and several long tours.

  • The Rock of Gibraltar
    After a rather bumpy night at sea we arrived at Gibraltar at about 10 am.  Since we had an 11 am tour we ate a late breakfast and took some ...
