A text message from Vodafone ES woke me at around 4am telling me their prices for calls, we must have transited the Straits of Gibraltar because the ship was moving around quite a bit. No alarm clock this morning, I’m crocked with my Achilles tendon giving me gyp so we had a lie in not making breakfast until 08.45.
Once breakfast was over Jane popped along to the launderette to do a white wash while most people were off on their tours. Once that was done we went off the ship to have a stroll through Cadiz. We ended up at the market, where we had a snack and drink, before heading back for our Flamenco and Tapas tour at 13.20. We spent about 20 minutes getting all the old ones on the coach and set off to the Flamenco bar, we headed out of the dock gates, turned right and travelled about 100 yards down to a roundabout, came around that and back to stop opposite the dock gates where we all got off and walked 100 meters to El Cava! All in all we spent about 40 minutes to go what would have taken 10 minutes to walk directly.
The Flamenco dancing was very intense, lots of stamping and smoldering stares. It was very enjoyable, my hands were sore with the clapping.
A second part of the tour was a panoramic scenic tour of Cadiz, but we’d already done something similar so didn’t bother with that, instead we headed back to the ship for afternoon tea.
