May 30th
Today we planned to go to Cadiz which is accessible by either ferry or car/bus. A few of us felt the night before more than others ;)
We got to the bus station and ordered a quick cafe con leche and jamón y pan to stuff down before boarding the bus. We didn’t realize at this time that Spain still required masks on their public transit and we were scrambling for masks while boarding! We ended up being short one mask and a nice passenger offered one to us. Whew, it was stressful, as the next bus to Cadiz wasn’t for another 2 hours. But we made it!
Mark and I sat together and planned out the morning, as a few. of others *ahem* were struggling with lack of sleep and too much alcohol. We decided to head to an ancient Roman Colosseum as our first stop in Cadiz. We did lots of exploring and walking through the streets of this 5 square mile island. Every street was picturesque and the water was brilliant and sparkling in the hot summer sun.
We stopped for lunch on the most beautiful street and sat outside and shared tapas and sangria into the afternoon. We then walked to a Castillo de San Sebastian and Alex and Mike went for a little swim, while the rest of us decided against having wet clothes HA.
We then split up and loitered around the island, stopping for ice cream, to drink wine, finding little courtyards with live music. It truly was a beautiful city to wander, around every corner was something beautiful and delightful.
