Nov 3 - Malaga, Spain

 Nov 3 - Málaga

Today brings us to Malaga, Spain birthplace of Pablo Picasso.  

Sunny and 74° - again!😀

Because I couldn’t take my walker on the Tuk Tuk I stayed onboard and Mary went off on her own!  I had a nap! And watched Jez’ presentation on Málaga on TV.  It looks like a beautiful city with lots of attractions. The one that impressed me most from the talk was the cathedral.  Beautiful stained glass windows, wood carvings of the apostles and saints, and a huge pipe organ.

Here’s the description of Mary’s tour…

Discover the city of Malaga from a different perspective-from inside a fun and comfortable Tuk-Tuk, an electric-powered, eco-friendly motorized vehicle. Have your camera ready as you travel past some of the city's most famous sites: Centre Pompidou, one of the best art museums in southern Spain; La Farola, a 19th century lighthouse turned museum; La Malagueta, Malaga's bullring that seats over 15,000 aficionados; Larios Street, Malaga's premier pedestrian and shopping destination; and Atarazanas Market famed for its fresh produce, fish and meat, restaurants and massive stained glass window perched above the entrance. No tour would be complete without seeing Plaza de la Merced, Picasso's birthplace and the magnificent Castillo de Gibralfaro, a Moorish fortress with breathtaking views, the Town Hall and the baths of Carmen. 

She said the driver was a university student studying Tourism - so a perfect job for him, and a great guide for the tour!   When Mary returned we went out on the promenade deck for a bite of lunch!

Then we headed up to the Dome to relax out on Deck 17!  A bit windy   - so we moved inside!   I have had a scratchy throat for a few days so am doing the salt water gargle trick!  Hopefully that, and lots of throat lozenges will keep it under control.  I am still trying to figure out if it’s my new medication that causes me to feel ‘crappy’ about a half hour after breakfast???  I am thinking it might be the milk I have with cereal?  Still experimenting on this!!

We had dinner at our usual window table.  We love watching sailaway from this spot, although tonight the sun was so bright we had to close the drapes!!  ( I know, poor us!)  We both chose to have a Caesar Salad, the Parmesan Crusted Baked Haddock as our main course, and a decadent dessert!

Tonight’s show was a rock concert so instead we watched people dancing in the Piazza for a while and then called it a day!
