evening in Cadiz

Just to finish the day especially for you Tess! George and I had supper on board because Spain closes down for siesta until 8-9 pm when they eat dinner and we couldn't wait until then, besides it's cheaper on the ship! The dining room as packed so obviously everyone had the same idea. However we went out again, walked through the lively streets and sat outside a bar and drank wine...sitting outside on the 28th January! It suddenly dawned on me how extraordinarily fortunate we are to be doing this trip. I haven't taken it foregranted but as I looked at the green trees and listened to a table near us full of happy SAS students and watched the dog walkers (lots of those in Cadiz) and listened to the Spanish around me I thought WOW! isn't this amazing?! As you said Tess.... I'm in SPAIN!

A first: on the way back George admitted he had no idea where we were in relation to the harbour....George said that? Yes, he's human after all! So we just enjoyed wandering the streets until we saw the Cathedral and then we both knew the way home.

So now we're back in our cabin all packed (just our backpacks) for Seville.

Goodnight all. Will probably not be on line for the next few days....we have to be back Saturday remember....6 pm or else!
