A day in Cadiz

Well Cadiz was lovely.  We thoroughly enjoyed our day roaming the streets and enjoying at various points; coffee, beer, tapas, and ice cream.  We found an astonishingly cheap cafe bar with outside seating by the Cathedral Square.  The best bit being the Spanish solo guitarist playing quality music as we enjoyed a coffee and pastry.  Wifey also had a coke zero and the total bill came in at only 7 Euro.  That should have been the bargain of the day, but as time pressed on we found ourselves at a traditional tapas bar in a narrow road just away from the tourist crowds. Four tapas, two beers, some bread, and olives; and all for 12 Euro total.  Okay my beer was larger than Pauline's, but you must admit, this was the real bargain. The shops were lovely, the people friendly, the architecture interesting.  A few years ago we were in Cadiz and soaked into doing an excursion.  This time we planned our day around what we should have done last time.  It was a great decision, and became the perfect last stop on our cruise holiday.

The photograph shows us both at dinner that evening on our return to the ship. We were given a large six seater table just for the two of us (out of choice) and enjoyed good food and excellent service. Normally one would ask the other to pass the salt, but on this occasion we asked each other to pass the iPad.
