The airline I work for cancelled my flight then rebooked me on a rival airline with extra leg room, departing 3 hours later! Bilbao is an interesting city to visit.
Captain and Chief Engineer Q&A - there’s a 3 metre swell so no outdoor activities today. Behind the scenes tour was very interesting - went into a kitchen saw how they prepare menu items, went into the theatre dressing rooms and backstage. Walked the length of the ship on the crew corridor, stopping for a tour of the laundry and the store rooms. Most of the stores are shipped from Miami, only fresh produce is bought locally. Saw the metalwork area and the meat preparation area - the beef I’m eating tonight!
Wines around the world tasting was very good, liked the Italians the best.もっと詳しく
Walking tour - Americans - when are we getting on the bus! Walked around the old town then the relatively modern area to contrast, listened to a lot of the history. Used the funicular to get to the top of the hill. Then left to explore by myself and find my own way back.もっと詳しく
Tender port - 20 minutes in a life boat to get to land. Tour of the Algarve region including stops in the towns of Silves - castle and Roman bridge and Monchique - nice views. Praia da Rocha - massive beach.もっと詳しく
Day trip to Seville, lots of walking around, the Spanish square is spectacular as is the cathedral. Walked by the river which was nice. There’s a bullring and an odd looking sculptural building.
Early start, caught the cable car to the top of the rock. Saw the monkey feeding station then into the rock. Through the Great Siege Tunnels. Very interesting, learnt that the term shrapnel originated from cannon balls fired from the rock. Enjoyed walking through the city.もっと詳しく
Day trip to Granada. A place where I never quite got my bearings, I trusted google maps, found a massive cathedral so went in for a look. Visited The Alhambra, a palace and fortress complex full of Islamic architecture, never seen anything quite like it, amazing.もっと詳しく
Took the bus over to San Antonio, couldn’t club, all closed on a Tuesday afternoon. Then got the bus to Playa d'en Bossa, very long beach, walked almost to the end. Found a nice section and had a swim and probably burnt bits I couldn’t reach.もっと詳しく
