The last day at sea was a little rough, although less than we expected given the captain's warning not to leave things on tables and to expect notable roll as we crossed the Bay of Biscay in 50 knotWeiterlesen

So, firstly, an inside cabin with no phone signal means your phone does not automatically update to local time...which is a slight issue for an alarm. Nonetheless, we managed to get up about 8.15amWeiterlesen

Yesterday was a day at sea. So short of the formal night, it was a fairly relaxed day, watching Instinct and MacGyver and taking advantage of the food on ship!

From the shore, we wandered along the front to a fort, before turning to town and heading along narrow alleys lined with restaurant tables and brilliant and eclectic street art. Unlike Lisbon, theWeiterlesen

We wound around the second valley and into a third, able to catch a glimpse of the sea out of the base of the valley. We passed even more remote mountainside homes, before ascending the final fewWeiterlesen
