Vigo is the port from which most tourists go to visit the shrine/cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. That, however, is a long day's tour, so I didn't sign ip for one. I mostly wandered around the ship and took a few photos. In the evening we met up with Jeff, Mike, Roy and Janet plus an assortment of other interesting characters for drinks before dinner. After dinner most called it an early night as they had all partied hearty the night before when I was in isolation.
June 19, Lisbon, Portugal. Up early to watch as we sail up the Tagus River under the spectacular 25th of April bridge which is reminiscent of the Golden Gate bridge. Mark had a tour out of the city to two villages, one in the mountains and the other near the coast. I had wanted to do that one, but was convinced by the Shore Excursion guy not to, so I did a short city drive around and take photos thing instead. It was a pleasant tour with some sunny spots and some overcast. We saw the main monuments and city squares, going past some of them several times. On return,
After the tour, I grabbed a bit of lunch then had a nice nap before meeting the rest of our group for. afternoon trivia. We didn't win. Dinner with the usual crew of Mark, Janet, Roy, Mike and Jeff, was quite a manic experience this evening with a great deal of confusion about limoncello, shot glasses, blue cheese and port wine. Fortunately, I was rather at the periphery of things so didn't feel I really had to keep it all straight.
Changing time yet again tonight for the third night in a row. It turns out that Portugal doesn't do daylight savings time.
