Great final day in Bordeaux. Stunning day with bright sunshine and no wind. Could not be better. We had a tour of Bordeaux by bus that was really well done with a great guide. It really is a lovely city. We were docked right in the heart of Bordeaux

Then we visited the "Cite du Vin" which is like a museum of everything about wine world wide not just in France. This included an audio guide and here were so many great exhibits. From wrap around movie about transporting wine by ship in the early days, to a movie that was hilarious featuring Napoleon, Maria Callas, Mozart, Churchill and other famous characters from history on their thoughts on wine. The audio was all in English and you touched the transmitter to a red dot and it explained everything related to that particular subject about wine. You could spend many hours in this place. All extremely well done. Finished off by a wine tasting at the top of the building with a 360 degree view of Bordeaux. Of course I tried a South African wine and Ken tried a Romanian wine.

All this followed by a great dinner with lobster tail on the menu.

Today we arrived in Pasia, Spain, Right now weather not looking great but we arrive around noon but it is brightening up a bit so fingers crossed. I feel we have been blessed by the weather gods. Had wonderful mussels for lunch two large orders.

From Pasia we visited San Sebastián and we just got back so I thought I would just post here. Weather settled a little bit but we decided to cancel our 5 tour and just go in on the shuttle bus. They rain held off for the most part with just some light rain periodically.

Lovely town, attractive buildings with parks and green areas and quite a few monuments. Shame it was not sunny. Clothing in the stores was really nice, super quality and very reasonable. Unfortunately we hit at siesta time and most of the shops were closed. Did try on a few items but as usual nothing fit. Food was also very inexpensive. Things were much cheaper than in France. Really enjoyed just wandering around on our own. The guide on the shuttle bus told me this has the reputation of being the most beautiful town in Spain.

Tonight Rack of Lamb, really enjoying the cruise life again but definitely over eating and instead of berries been ordering desserts. This must stop.

Clay leaves for the splendor today but I will be home in four days and I know our great staff will keep our ship afloat.

Ken will post pictures today.
