Today is a do nothing day. We had originally booked a wine tour, but it got cancelled so now we have no plans but to walk around the town for a bit, then go get lunch at Bruno’s the restaurant we like here!
We actually sleep in a bit, then hit the gym, breakfast and make our way out onto the dock by about 10 or so. The Azamara Journey is here with us – which is just so bittersweet since we were supposed be sailing her across the Atlantic until they cancelled the Cuba ports. Oh well, we’ve got Quest in February to look forward to at least.
So, into town we go. It’s a 20 minute walk which is warmer than we expected. There is a really cold wind, but the sun is up and shining making us really warm on our trek. We persevere and get into town proper – which is crazy bedlam crowded city! Yikes. We’re not staying here long – it’s just not comfortable! We head to the post office, mail the birthday card (our primary reason for coming into town), then boogie on back to the waterfront – with a pit stop at the grocery store where we find a great box of chocolate on sale that we can give to Lilyanna, our restaurant hostess (who we’ve sailed with before and ply with chocolates!).
Navigation successful (last time we had problems finding Bruno’s), we hang out snacking on that awesome Provoleta with chorizo and wings. It’s sort of a tradition now.
Then, well, it’s back to the ship to hang out in the windy sunshine on the balcony, waiting for sailaway.
It’s picture perfect as we sail, so we’ve got more photos of the Rock (like we need them!), then it’s onto our evening routine. Tomorrow, our first day at sea.
