Today we are in Cadiz, Spain. There is a song which goes "the rain in spain......" well today it is coming down in torrents!! We made an attempt to leave the ship after breakfast but decided it was too difficult. So watched it get slowly worse & had lunch but as we needed to use the internet we disembarked with umbrellas flying everywhere & pis.....g down! eventually a taxi pulled in alongside us & we are now in the old town area - looks fantastic but perhaps on another day we will return!!!
The ship is lovely, we are still eating and drinking too much, everywhere you turn there is another bottle of something and it is usually alchoholic!!!!
Have met a nice couple, John & Anne, & last night G & J wanted to eat at the BBQ on deck. Was too cold for us girls so we had a drink in the bar & were about to go to the dining room when one of the two dance partners (single men who dance with old ladies!!!) came & asked Anne to dance. He then sat down & talked & asked could he dine with us. So, having given our men the slip we waltzed into the dining room with another!! Very amusing and much laughter afterwards. But it is such a friendly group of people and like one big family. I have many stories to tell!!! And then there was the night before when the two lovely gay guys asked could they dine with us all. One is Todd McKennys ex partner! He sells opals & pearls on the ship. The other is a singer dancer & has been on Broadway. All part of the fun.
Hopefully more from Portugal tomorrow. Go those mighty Magpies.
