Open tour bus around Malaga

Weather around 60F. Took a 18 euro open your bis to see Malaga. Some shopping on the way!

Malaga

Just arrived at Malaga. Of for a wander in town! Arrived at 7am at a very slow speed. Impressive manoeuvring!

Crossing The Bay of Biscay

First posting by Satellite using the Iridium WiFi.

Yesterday we only took 45 minutes to get to the cabin from arrival. It
seemed much longer, but was very efficient, though the Cruise Terminal
was being rebuilt.

Most of the eight(!!) cases are now unpacked, we have a surprising
amount of space. The £10 drink deal seems very worthwhile, as we can
have lots of soft drinks.

Last night we had dinner with our companions, and then went on here
about the various activities. We then did the 10pm quiz with another
couple, where we came second. Thn to bed at 11pm.

This morning Helen went to Gym, and then went to hear about diet options
for vegetarians. A nice breakfast too, someone had HP brown sauce and
veggie sausages! Then I went to lunch (light) whilst an afternoon snooze
was had the other sailor.

Weather is not too bad, just gentle rocking!

Leaving Southampton at 5pm

Just leaving with tugs and pilot. Dinner in 30 minutes, then some rest after a hectic few days getting everything ready!

View from the hotel

Boarding at midday. Can just see the boat over the wonderful looking vista of Southampton docks.

Arrived at hotel!

At Southampton ready for boarding tomorrow. A free drink voucher awaits us in the bar, after the cup of tea!

On our way!

Helen is in the back under a pile of bags. I think she is either asleep or crushed to death. A very wet M25 to Southampton .....
