Day 68, 3/26/24 Cartagena Spain

Cartagena and rising sun welcomes us at dawn

This seaside town is charming and glamorous with a lot of Roman remains and relics

The busy buzzling street lined with buildings with glorious ornate facades

The Roman Theatre of Carthago Nova

From the 1st century BC… Nicely preserved

The Roman forum museum

Lots of Roman relics and footprints in this Spanish town
Jamon iberico…cured leg of pork  A very important delicacy in Spain
Our lunch is Ramen(really missed soup noodles) and our happy hour is fried sardines, squids and mussels… And of course sangria

Once again we were overwhelmed with lots of beauty and details… Its going to get worst as the next stop is Barcelona….. The downside of cruise travel is we only stop for average 8 hours and some cities needs at least a week…. Now we can understand why a lot of the cruisers onboard do the world cruise multiple times… Each time check out different places….

Before we go, cheers again to a town that we almost never visit if not for the weather conditions and cheers to our captain for successfully dodging a storm at sea… And cheers to our friends who understands that we will always find any kind of reason and excuses to raise a glass 😁
Cartagena sounded loud cannon salutes right at the time we are ready for sailing off… They said it’s part of a local religious procession but we like to thank them for the wonderful send off!!
