Some protesters. They were protesting something to do with the Catalan independence movement. Sorry but I don't pay attention to politics in my own country let alone someone elses. |
|
|
|
More protesters returning from their rally. |
|
Dinner at this cute place called Pizzeria Eden Barcelona. |

Our ship way across the bay in Gibraltar |
|
One of the strangest airports you will find. There is a ROAD that runs across the middle of the runway. It's the connection to Gibraltar from Spain |
|
When a plane somes, they put down gates just like at a railroad crossing, the plane lands (or takes off) and then the gates go up and back to being a road. |

You can get just about anything in Spain I guess |

Marbella was great. A long walkway along the beach with restaurants and shopping |

The "rock" with our ship at the right looking tiny. |

Looking to the right. The very distant mountain in the center of the picture is the north tip of Africa. |
|
And further to the right. |
|
Another runway shot on our return from visiting Spain |
|

We're docked in Toulon France but took a shore excursion to Saint Tropez. This is a bit of the harbor in Saint Tropez |

|
|
|

Having had a boat with just a little Black on the hull, I can't even imagine maintaining an all black boat. |
