We visit Cartagena, Alicante, and Valenthia (I mean Valencia). We reconnect with Oceania Marina and our butler Churchill, we don't climb a mountain, and we do continue to have a wonderful time together.
We sail all night, all day, all night ... and arrive in Lisbon. Our first time in Portugal. Then we sail all night and all day and through the Strait of Gibraltar.
We leave Camiral and embark on a new cruise to ports in Spain and Portugal. This post includes primarily Malaga and Cadiz.
A tour around the old city of Girona and our last full day at Camiral.
We enjoy the beautiful Hotel Camiral in Girona, Spain. Just a quiet week staying put in the hotel, enjoying good food, and hanging out with each other. Bliss.
Our last few days on Valiant Lady. We celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary. And a visit to a French island and then a Spanish island.
Barcelona for a quick visit, street photography, churches, good food in France, and Mitzi's first visit to Italy. And we encounter Carrara Marble.
We visit Palma de Mallorca, have a sea day, and experience Ibiza. And we finally make it to a show.
We travel to Barcelona then board the Valiant Lady for a two week cruise around the Mediterranean. A visit to Marseilles fails, we love Cannes, and have a Sea Day on our way to Palma de Mallorca.
A quiet and peaceful week in the French countryside. We also visit some very old villages built on hilltops in the 1200's. And we eat a lot of French cuisine :)
It's my birthday! A perfect birthday. Mitzi gifted me with a wonderful day in France to celebrate. I feel loved by family and friends, what a wonderful day!
We leave Versailles (boo hoo) and do a road trip to southern France, Castelnau de Montmiral. We stay overnight in Bouesse and have a French family dinner -- a new and delightful dining experience.
