Day 13 Palma de Mallorca, Mallorca, Spain


Happy Birthday Emma, 35 years young today!



Our last port visit and a new one! Arrived at sunrise to see a harbour full of yachts and backed by high rise building.




View from our cabin


So off the ship by shuttle bus around the harbour front to the drop off point near the amazing Gothic Cathedral. We wanted to go in the Cathedral which was not open when we arrived so a look around the main town area seeing some impressive old buildings like the Grand Hotel




The Grand Hotel

and nice tree lined roads with a wide central pedestrian area, this had stalls which were all selling flowers: perhaps as it was near the hospital!




La Rambla

Back to the Cathedral which took four centuries to finish and is one of the largest in Europe.




 

Then back on the shuttle bus to the ship for lunch and yet another lazy afternoon. Again the weather has been hot and sunny and so far this has been the normal for the cruise: not a drop of rain!

Tonight we have our last formal dinner and Gary Lovini, a musical show with a difference! We are not holding our breath.

Then our last day at sea tomorrow, before coming home on Wednesday.
