Mooning around the Mediterranean

[drron29]

Back on the ship and straight to lunch. We went to the pool deck and Rojaan just had a dessert -the mango Eton Mess and I had the hot dog. All that we needed.

 

Bombed aout again in Trivia but at least I got 2 points in the putting.

[drron29]

As we steamed from Cartagena towards Palma De Majorca a rather long ship passed us.

 

Dinner was once again in Atlantide.\

 

Rojaan started with the caviar whilst I had the foie gras terrine.

 

I then had the lobster bisque.

 

Rojaan went with the lobster tail again and I had the seabass.

Neither of us took an excursion so another 8am sleep in. The views when we awoke in Palma.

 

[drron29]

After breakfast at the Arts cafe I took the 1030 shuttle into town.

 

There was a continuos line of trucks coming off a ferry.

 

We were dropped near the cathedral.

 

[drron29]

Looking back towards the Moon.

 

[drron29]

The main cathedral entrance.

 

I now headed off to the Palace. I did bring my Seniors card from home so only had to pay 4 euros to enter.

[drron29]

The last of the palace.

 

[drron29]

Now a short walk past the Cathedral into the old town.

 

[drron29]

And then began the walk back to the ship.

 

[drron29]

 

Believe it or not this is a sculpture of a bull.

 

[drron29]

 

[drron29]

Most of the walk was past a huge marina with lots of expensive yachts.

 

[drron29]

For lunch we went to Spaccanapoli for pizzas. Much better than pre covid.

 

Rojaan had the Funghi Porcini and I the funghi E Salsiccia. Both very nice.

 

Whilst we were lunching there were yacht races going on.

 

 

[drron29]

Back to Atlantide. It is our favourite dinner venue.Sat next to 2 delightful divorced ladies. One was born in Adelaide but moved to the USA as a child the other a Canadian. Here the daily menu.

 

The night's wines.

 

Both good wines. Rojaan began with the beef tartare and caviar whilst I had the Tsar cut salmon which was excellent.

 

I then had the poached pear salad again very good.

 

For mains Rojaan had the salmon and I the beef Wellington. Both excellent.

 

For desserts Rojaan had the pavlova and I the bluebery chocolate crumble. Both good.

Thursday morning and we arrive in Tarragona. A large port area with the Cruise port quite a distance to the Port gate. No walking to and from the ship here.

 

Several ships waiting offshore.

[drron29]

We were off to Mountblanc and the Poblet Monastery. It is not a very scenic city. but a long line of seafood restaurants near the fishing harbour and seafood market.

 

 

Then you pass a few kilometres of petrochemical works.

 

[drron29]

Fortunately the scenery improved outside the city.

 

Then we arrived at Mountblanc.

 

[drron29]

The main tourist feature is the walled and fortified old city.
