Friday 12th October
Departed Falmouth. Left port to the sound of Rod Stewart singing "We are Sailing"; pretty much as expected and wondering what was in store . Next few days spent at sea with a smooth crossing of the Bay of Biscay. Mandi has joined the art class and the craft class.
Monday 15th October
Arrive Gibraltar; unusual place with indigenous population from all over the place. Walked up main street and spent some money in Marks and Sparks. Took a tour to the top of the rock where we saw the macaques (monkeys) then to St Michaels Cave which is so large it has a concert hall inside it. Next to the Siege tunnels and the Moorish castle. Then we went to Morrisons and stocked up on Gin, Tonic and wine!!
We are just about to dock in Malta where we hope to be able to post this blog. There is no internet access on the ship and an email costs £1.65 per person you are sending it to. We have been very lucky and ended up with a super table, so initial concerns unfounded - but Mandi is certainly in the youngest 5% and getting lots of attention from Sergey, the Ukrainian ballroom champion! One of the photos is of our table. From back to front Stuart and Pam, Mandi and David, Donald and Jackie, Margaret and David.
