Whilst we arrive early we have another doctor’s visit but after that, Sal comes with me so that she can say she has set foot on Spanish soil.
Internet not bad at the port but we are not able to speak with Sarah as she is doing lifesaving assessments, Flic is in an interview with a client and Mel who is in transit between home and Jersey. So we assume all is as well as can be expected then.
We do manage to download all outstanding emails and whilst Sal returns to the ship for a rest, I set out again to explore Cadiz.
Unfortunately, I only manage a couple of hours walk with a stop for a coffee and a visit to a supermarket for some essentials as we have an early departure from Cadiz.
The city has many narrow streets with low rise buildings, 3 floors max, with the thin old fashioned shops extending back some way mixed in with modern fashionable clothes shops – at least that is where some of the younger female members of the crew seemed to be heading.
From a distance many of the paths look wet but up close you can see that it is just the stone that has been the subject of many feet tramping on them that has made them shiny.
The square was fascinating as was the church which had many preparations for Easter week in full flow including masses of red flowers.
Manage to take a few pictures and videos to show Sal back at the ship to give her a flavour of the place – we must come back in healthier times but let us hope that the queues to get back onto the ship are not as long post Brexit – if that ever happens!
Now for the sail across the Bay of Biscay to our final destination, Southampton, UK.
