Transatlantic Cruise from Barcelona to Barbados - November 2017

November 10, 2017 - Barcelona, Spain

The Silversea Silver Wind left Barcelona on Novermber 10.  I was glad I made it, having missed my connection at JFK.


The Silver Wind is the tiny ship between the two mega ships.





I requested three bottles of my favorite gin and raspberry vodka.

November 12, 2017 - Malaga, Spain

I’ve been to Malaga many times and spent my time there wandering through the old part of town, before hitting the beach area.

November 13, Gibraltar, UK

I walked to the airport runway, which opens up to let traffic cross from Gibraltar to Spain.  I then walked to the other side of the rock.

November 14, 2017 - Casablanca, Morocco

I took a tour today to visit the Grand Mosque.  It was one of the most beautiful buildings I’ve ever seen.  The rest of the city was very forgettable.

November 15, 2017 - Agadir, Morocco

This resort town is on the Atlantic side of Morocco.  I walked along the ocean, admiring sights such as KFC and Burger King.

November 16, 2017 - Arrecife, Canary Islands, Spain

I walked around a colorful lagoon and made a few small purchases.




November 17, 2017 - Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Spain

I took the Hop On Hop Off bus tour so I could cover the beaches as well as the beautiful old town.





November 18-24 - At Sea

During the days at sea, my friend Angela and I built our third boat for the boat building contest.  The ship, the Silver Sang III, took first prize and held over 150 cans of soda and beer.

The Silver Wind docked in Barbados early in the morning.  After two days, I flew home.
