Homeward bound...sniffle sniffle

Well, after the last few days visiting Ibiza, Cartagena and today Gibralter we are now heading home :(

We visited Ibiza on Monday where we got off the ship and wondered around on our own. There wasnt a great deal to do in the town we stopped in so there isnt really much to report. We came back to the ship at about 1pm, had some lunch and did some sun bathing - or sun shading in Richards case lol. It was our third formal night and the theme was black and white, with an extra James Bond theme added on, so we got ourselves all dressed up, had dinner and then visited the casino where we didnt do so well :s

Tuesday we were in Cartagena. Our tour took us to Elche, which was about 1.5 hours away, where we saw the sity centre, a tropical garden and a shoe factory - where we thought we would get some good discounted shoes...trouble was that even the discounted prices were 50 GBP plus....we therefore came back empty handed lol. We arrived back at about 230 so we had a few hours to wonder round Cartegena for a few hours before heading off. The town was quite pretty and looked very modern with marble tiling on the ground and new shops.
At dinner we celebrated with a couple who we sit with as it was their 40th wedding anniversary - champagne and singing all round :)

Today we have made our final stop in Gibralter where we were greeted with misty and humid weather, which wasnt so great :( We have however had a good day seeing the rock, St Michaels Cave, some shops and of course the monkeys...even some baby ones too which was cute :)

We are now at sea and on our way back home. It will take us a further 2 days to reach Southampton so fingers crossed for some nice weather whilst we are on board.

Hope all is well. See you all soon.
