Ceute

We docked about 09.00 and this was the view from the cabin window

Malaga itself is 2.5 km from the port so we took one of the shuttle buses to gets there.

Our plan was to do a bit of sightseeing, have a nice lunch and then watch more football – specifically Arsenal v Manchester United. Here’s Denis having a coffee and plotting the route.

We had a very pleasant stroll around the old town

And found somewhere for lunch. We started with a glass each of Manzanilla, nicely chilled and very tasty.

After that we found a good old traditional English-on-their-holidays sports bar and watched the football. Arsenal were playing Manchester United so one way or another the result was always going to be satisfactory. In the end Manchester United won on penalties.

We just got back in time to start the evening bridge session.

I went on top deck about ten o’clock to see the night sky. Unfortunately it was a full moon which made it difficult to see anything else apart from the moon itself and another cruise ship in the distance.

Next stop is Ceute. Until agreeing to do this cruise I’d never heard of Ceute. It is an autonomous city of Spain on the North African coast. So we left Europe behind and headed for Africa.
