Sunday we were in Palma de Majorca. The day started out quite overcast with a possibility of some light rain. Since we'd been there several times before, we decided to wait it out and see if the weather improved.
Then, finally after lunch, there was a hint of sunshine and we decided to take a walk along the waterfront. It is a relatively new promenade which was quite nice to walk on though Linda got cold!
Eventually, it did warm up and we were able to explore a bit of the old city wall.
We were then surprised to come across a statue of a famous Romanian scientist. The photo made the Romanian Food & Beverage Manager, Marius, and the Romanian Restaurant Manager, Laurentiu, very proud!
We felt very safe in Palma as the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R Ford was anchored in the harbor.😁 Apparently the local people were glad to have it - the sailor's come into town and spent lots of money at the bars.
Monday we were in Cartagena, Spain (not Columbia). Once again, the day started out gray with a chance of rain.
But then we saw the hint of blue sky, and went for a walk.
Cartagena is a nice place to walk around with its interesting architecture and many churches.
What was most interesting was watching Mary hail an Uber!
Did I mention that they also have Roman ruins?
Linda had me take 2 photos here as she wasn't sure which was her better side! (It is fun to play with Google Photos).
We eventually worked our way up to the market but, as it was Monday, most everything was closed.
Linda insisted on taking a number and on waiting for the fish market to open.
Of course, there is always time for a cortado in Spain.
This morning, Tuesday, we disembarked Nautica in Malaga where we will spend a couple of days before heading back to Malta for the wedding.
Peace and blessings,
Linda and Larry
Interesting spots! Enjoy the wedding & your family....Bonnie
