Next, we visited the Gothic Quarter, where we toured the beautiful Gothic Cathedral, where the apostle Peter is buried. We saw the original Roman walls of this area as well as the scrape marks on the walls where the soldiers used to sharpen their swords. We also were able to hang out with our friend, Bo, the Marketing Rep for Azamara Cruises. We spent the rest of the day exploring on our own, eating lunch in La Rambla with friends, and taking a nice, leisurely walk back to the hotel.
This morning, the buses picked us up and transported us to the cruise dock. Before we left the hotel, we took a morning walk to the Arc de Triumf and through the park. We found a group of older Spanish guys playing Bocce and watched them for awhile. It was fun to see the real people of Barcelona and not just where the tourists go.
Once onboard the ship, we wandered around checking it out and we immediately found the ice cream station. They had several different flavors and we were happy to keep them busy throughout the whole week.
We enjoyed being on deck as we sailed away from Barcelona, seeing the beautiful blue waters of the Mediterranean and checking out the fun things the ship had to offer. That night, the waters were pretty rough - with some fairly large waves. We watched it from our window and could see that they were about 6-8 feet high. It was really fascinating to watch them break. We tried taking some pictures out the window and caught this really cool picture of Martin looking out the window, almost like I was on the outside taking the picture. We were gently rocked to sleep by the rolling waves.
