Saturday, August 27
Today we arrived in Barcelona, which completed a most enjoyable cruise. We stay overnight on the ship, so we didn't need to rush ashore. Also this is our third visit to this wonderful city, and with a few more days to come we just wanted to reacquaint ourselves. The other limiting factor today was that we had to pack - never the greatest part of a holiday!
A shuttle bus took us to the square near Columbus' Column - the architecture around this area is fabulous. It's also where La Rambla starts, so we happily strolled along this lovely boulevard to where it runs into Plaza de Catalunya.
After some refreshments we set off again back towards the waterfront, looking in the various shops and cafes along the way. Barcelona is such a great place to stroll, enjoy a drink with tapas or a coffee and cake, and just people watch as they go about their business here.
Back on board Noelle packed our bags, but at least this time it didn't have to be a "flight ready" pack. We had dinner with our new friends Alan & Sharon and Alex & Laura before catching the B.B. King All Stars for the last time before turning in.
