Santa Barbara

Beautiful sunny day in Santa Barbara. We visited the mission with two towers (the only one with two) and the Court House. The Court House has a bell tower and working chimes. We were lucky enough to be climbing the bell tower stairs when the bells went off. Beautiful murals on all 4 walls of the court room. Nice leisurely stroll down State street with many places to shop, dine and drop in for a beer or coffee. Stopped a couple of local breweries to experience their beers and they were very tasty.
We did not dock at Santa Barbara and used the tinder boat to shuttle to shore and back. One of the tinder boats had a seal try to jump onboard - Bet that was a surprise...!
Back on board we checked out the ship layout, the gym, visited the Spa for a hot and cold experience and a relaxing time laying on the heated rock lounge chairs.
Looking forward to all the at sea activities tomorrow after a good night's rest.Läs mer
