Once again, we woke early this morning and started off our day with breakfast in the Lido Café. The café was quite busy since many passengers were going on shore excursions. We ended up sitting with one of our fellow passengers during breakfast. Afterwards, we went over to the Fitness Center for our daily workout.
This ship arrived in Malaga, Spain at approximately 8:00 AM this morning. We did not sign up for any of the shore excursions as we planned just to walk around the town.
Malaga lies along the beautiful Costa del Sol, and is located approximately seventy miles inside the Strait of Gibraltar. It has a wealth of historical sites, including a 16th century cathedral and the Morrish Alcazaba Fortress.
We ended up walking around town with the art auction director Stu and his lovely wife. We remember them from a cruise that we took several years ago in the Mediterranean on another cruise line and they have been on our World Cruise voyage since Dubai. Stu is a former NBA Basketball Player so Keith and Stu had a nice time talking sports along with many other topics while Anne Marie and Stu’s wife talked about other items as we all walked around town. We walked by several interesting buildings and in and out of various stores.
Originally, we had planned to visit a few different sites in the town, but unfortunately most of these sites were closed today. We still had a great time just walking around the town. The weather was wonderful and there were not many tourists in town. We were the only cruise ship visiting this port of call today.
When we got back to the ship we went to the Lido Café for lunch and then we took care of some errands this afternoon.
Before dinner we attended another play that was performed as part of the Repertory Theatre at Sea. This evening’s performance was titled “Later Life” by A.R. Gurney. The play was about a man who gets an unexpected chance to change his life when a woman from his past appears at a cocktail party full of colorful characters. We greatly enjoyed this performance. We were fortunate to be sitting in the front row and at the end of the performance we stood up to ensure that all four actors received a standing ovation from the audience. We have greatly enjoyed these four actors. They not only have performed in the various plays, but have been very involved in so many other activities from the World Games to other functions throughout the World Cruise.
Afterwards, we enjoyed an excellent dinner in the Main Dining Room.
Tomorrow morning we will arrive in Cadiz, Spain.
Keith & Anne Marie
