    Day 19 - at sea

    October 31, 2023, North Atlantic Ocean ⋅ 🌬 16 °C

    Good morning from somewhere in the Atlantic…it was a dark and spooky night (Happy Halloween), but actually it’s been a rocking and rolling kinda night with high winds, crashing waves and we lost an hour of sleep having changed time zones 😖. So about an hour after sitting in on a lecture about what to see and do tomorrow in La Coruna, Spain, the captain announced that we have a change in itinerary, again, due to weather…we are skipping La Coruna and heading straight to Gibraltar to try and stay ahead of a storm, which means 3 consecutive days at sea. We had booked bike rentals for the day, so disappointing, but La Coruna was the connection to Santiago de Compostela, known as the culmination of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route, so I’m sure a lot of passengers will be really disappointed at missing it, but what can you do 🤷‍♀️. I’m thinking I’ll take a hiatus from the blog for the next 3 days until we arrive in Gibraltar unless something of interest comes up. Check in again on November 3rd.Read more
