We were late getting up; at the latitude we are currently at, it does not get light until about 8:30 AM. The ship was also 30 minutes late letting off passengers. With all of that, and the fact it was also rainy, we opted not to try and make it via train to Seville. It is about an hour and 45 minutes train ride each way, and we had to be back on the ship by 4:30 in the afternoon.
So, we just opted to walk around the city of Cadiz. We did make it to church at 9:30, it was a very pretty Jesuit church, but the mass was all in Spanish, imagine that!. After church, we toured around the perimeter of the city along the old sea wall.
It started to rain at about 10:30, and drizzled the rest of the time until we got back on the ship at about 2:00. It was our first bad weather port day, but not a bad place or time for it to happen. This was a short port day, in a port that does not have a lot of interesting things to see, or more specifically, miss seeing.
Later in the afternoon, the sun actually came out, and we were able to enjoy some time relaxing up on the pool deck. We will get an hour back tonight (5 hours difference instead of the current 6 hours) as we make the journey to tomorrow’s port of call, Lisbon, Portugal.
