54 Days on the Moon

[drron]

Straight to Kaiseki for lunch. As well as the sushi and Sashimi Mrsdrron had the beef bowl and I the vegetarian bowl. They were a lot better than the previous time on the Dawn.





Then watching a pilot leave a cargo ship.

 

[drron]

There was a Transit coughtail party this evening. 133 guests continuing on to Rome. I tried a new coughtail for me - the Corpse reviver number 2. It does say 4 in quick succession will unrevive the corpse.


Then to the Grill for dinner. Once againMrsdrron had the lamb cutlets whilst I had the fillet steak. Got the corn chips as usual but no salads this time.





Cooked perfectly if I say so myself.


For sweets Mrsdrron had the cheesecake and I the apple rose with cinnamon ice cream.




Sunset as we finished dinner.

You still close to your starting weight @drron ?!!
Curious to know what was in the Corpse Reviver ?

Note the sundial in the picture above. It was 2 hours out but one was daylight saving which wouldn't have existed when that was done.

Neither did Franco who changed Spain's timezone to align with Hitler's Germany during WW2. They never changed it back.

 

[drron]

No scales on the ship but I have obviously gained a little weight. Now back to theTR.

More of the sunset and night lights of Tarragona.








Then there were 2 Special shows before departure. The first was put on by nature with the rising moon.

 

[drron]

The second was by the Volmar Devils of Serrallo. They are accompanied by drummers and in the Holy Week parades they accompany the Virgin of Carmen and St. Peter in the processions in Serralo. Because it is Holy Week the group was already together and we benefited. They twirl fireworks on their special maces and sceptres. So here they are.

 

[drron]

And some more.

 

[drron]

Despite the spectacular send off Tarragona is not a place I would like to go to again.

Slept in again in Barcelona as only a 9.30 excursion. Awoke to this view from our balcony.

The rest of the port that we could see.




Then our view became this as the MSC Grandiosa backed in behind us.










And then we prepared to be refueled.

 

[drron]

Off on our excursion.















Then reached our destination with some interesting artwork on the walls.

 

[drron]

It is the Hospital Sant Pau. Absolutely stunning. For me who first wandered into hospitals in the 60s it brought back many memories.

 

[drron]

We started off underground. There are over 2 Km of tunnels connecting the buildings to provide all weather access to each building. We did have tunnels at my teaching hospital that I attended from 1966 to 1975. But nothing as elaborate or as beautiful as this place.

[drron]

Brilliant decorations.

 

[drron]

Some of the spaces are such relaxing areas it must have helped healing.

 

[drron]

 

[drron]

Reminiscent of wards in the 60s and 70s.





A radiologist's nightmare.

 

[drron]

The kitchen.

 

[drron]

Sterilising.







The doctors with 8 out of 18 women in 1984.

 

[drron]

And now to the Admin block. decoration is a little more flamboyant.

 

[drron]

And naturally the management get the best views.
