Land ahoy

Generally, a lazy day today.  It’s the first day we have seen land since Southampton. We sailed through the straits of Gibraltar at 06:30.  Being on starboard side of the ship, we saw the lights of Morocco. 
Barcelona tomorrow, where we will be having a cultural experience on the Gaudi Tour, taking in the delights of the Sagrada Familia, which is unfinished.  Did you know that when he had used all his money for the venture, he went from house to house begging for more to finish the build?  He lived as a recluse in the church up to his death.
