    April 29, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 55 °F

    Today we are docked in Cadiz, Spain but our optional tour with Viking is Seville On Our Own. Viking provided the 1.5 hour bus ride there and back but we were free to do our thing once we got there.
    Our time was short but we really wanted to see the Cathedral of Seville. (Christopher Columbus is buried there). The queues were very long so instead we hired a horse and buggy and saw the highlights such as Parliament, The Palace, Torres de Oro which was a prison tower in the Middle Ages.
    A drive through the park was very enjoyable.
    We had an opportunity to see Plaza Espana. Towards the end we did find a tiny Church to visit; Capilla de Santa María de Jesús. It was founded 1505.
    This is another city we would return to. Maybe when we come back to Santa Cruz. We know we didn’t do the city justice but at least we got a glimpse.
    We sure had fun.
    Tonight we had reservations at Manfredi’s, just the two of us. Fettuccine veal in a red sauce for Diana and Red Snapper for Myron.
    Dessert was the Carmel bites with salted carmel ice cream with Carmel sauce. Delicious!
    Myron went to hear Emily (one of the Viking singers) perform solo. Diana went to the cabin tonight to work on photos.
