Spain
This the last day of our epic adventure! It has been awesome! We ha booked a tour of Casa Battlio and Sagrada Familia. Both gigantic works by Gaudi. The church is still under construction after over 120 years and is now due to be completed in 2026. 2000 ppl per hour visit, 4.5 million a year. That is what is paying for the construction now and enabling it to finally be completed.
We have enjoyedRead more
Spain
We were on an 8:30 am time to vacate room 7112 on the ship so up at 6:30 for breakfast. Should I miss 3 great meals a day? And a bar card?
A short bus transfer to downtown and the square plaza catalunia. After getting our bearings it was just a couple short blocks walk to hotel Lleo. Of course our rooms were not ready at 9:30am but they kept our luggage and gave us a map and we went to explore laRead more
SpainCan't seem to beat the rain these days. But it held off and we took the port shuttle to the edge of town then got on the hop on off bus to see the sights. Unfortunately the roads down town were closed for a family bike event so we got off the bus and walked in. Den found a church service being held by the arch bishop! The rest of us waited at McDonald's lol. Headed back to the ship by cab early asRead more

I'm a couple days behind as good wifi has been hard to find lately. Didn't do the beach as we would have liked. Cool and it rained till noon. We then were able to catch the shuttle to town for quick walk about.
The evening show was a great British pianist, comedian and afterwards Cheryl and I went to the lounge for 'silent disco. Hilarious. Everyone has headphones and listen to different soundRead more
SpainTime to recharge again, ready for the final push. We were up early and both walked the deck. A professor will be giving a talk on the next 3 stops. Palma, Ibiza and Valencia. Time for a snooze in the sun! The next 3 islands will hopefully bring some beaches.

CroatiaWe woke to a beautiful Sunday morning. And sunshine too! Den and I have taken the bus back to the Old Town. He has gone to the 10am mass at St. Blaise Cathedral. The mass is in Croatian but I think he should be able to follow along! We were going to walk the walls after but I see it is 150 kunas per person which I believe is $30 cdn. A bit steep I think to walk their walls but I hear the views ofRead more
