Lisah101 Posted May 22, 2016 Author #326 Share Posted May 22, 2016 From there we caught a cab back to the port and rested on the balcony where we had a wonderful view of the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisah101 Posted May 22, 2016 Author #327 Share Posted May 22, 2016 This was our last formal night and I tried to get a photo but it didn't come out so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisah101 Posted May 22, 2016 Author #328 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Food pictures to come later as I think those are on my other camera. The next day we had our one and only tender port - Villefranche. Again this was a DIY port and I was getting worn out from all the back to back ports. Tendering was better than other cruises but still a pain and a long wait. However there were no tender tickets, just get in line. Interestingly, right after we anchored, they announced there was no wait. We were at breakfast and by the time we got there, yes, there was a good line.

Lisah101 Posted May 22, 2016 Author #329 Share Posted May 22, 2016 There is no port security, just a small building, you just walk off the tender boat - through a small area with one person smiling and you are in the middle of town. There was staff there to help with information. We asked if there was any market in town and they directed us up the hill. Great - more stairs! We might have walked VERY slowly and taken some breaks, but at the top of the hill and down the street was a small market - we wandered around, sat on the bench and just watched the people. It was my idea of a wonderful afternoon in the south of France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisah101 Posted May 22, 2016 Author #335 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Eventually working our way back down to the pier and the shops in the alley just behind the wharf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisah101 Posted May 22, 2016 Author #336 Share Posted May 22, 2016 We stopped here and had a quick lunch - think it was a ham and cheese sandwich with another Fanta for me and a Coke for Terry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare WrittenOnYourHeart Posted May 22, 2016 #337 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Loving the pictures! Which tower did you go up in Sagrada Familia? I think there are 2 - the one you went up is my choice, with the stairs. (Not that it helps now, but I *think* the other one is elevator up and down. I just can't remember which is which.) I fly to Barcelona in 37 days to get ready for my Med/Venice cruise on RCCL Brilliance. (Hanging out here now as I'm on the Reflection in Feb 2017! :) I like to try different lines!)

Lisah101 Posted May 22, 2016 Author #338 Share Posted May 22, 2016 NO way - I guess I didn't do my research on this one! I just looked it up - we had the Nativity Facade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think the Passion one is the other one you can go up and down via elevator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisah101 Posted May 22, 2016 Author #346 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I have to backtrack because I just found the missing photos from my phone. In Malaga, we found a Duncan Coffee which seems to be the same and Dunkin Donuts - they seem to be everywhere! This was along the wharf near the ship. well, kinda near as its a long walk to anything from the ship there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
