Last night we had a beautiful full moon off the coast of Portugal!! We arrived in Gibralter at 7 am! Off the ship about 7:45 am and walked in and through town....about an hour to the tram. The line was wayyyy toooo long so we walked in and through the Botanial Gardens. They were beautiful and no one was there. We noticed that a HUGE private yacht coming into dock right next to our ship!
We then walked back into town and had a frosty one at the "Angry Friar" right next to the Governor's mansion. Said mansion was guarded by an armed soldier!! Got to watch the changing of the guards...on video! Went back through town, did a little bit of shopping and arrived back at the ship at 11:30 am.
Took video of the 536 foot yacht Eclipse, crew of 70, finished cost of $1.12 BILLION!! It was beautiful and HUGE. Took video and pictures of it from our cabin on the 9th deck. Once I figure out how to download pictures and videos to the blog, will share. We had a great time in Gibralter and now 917 nautical miles to Palermo Italy.
We spent time at the pool and visited with some of our new friends from the East Coast. Yummy burgers and a complimentary neck and sholder massage! Tomorrow Dee and I are going for the bamboo deep tissue massage and manicures!!
Formal night tonight and a day at sea tomorrow. Food is good and they are taking care of me and my gluten sensitivity.
Chow and more soon.
Hugs,
