Day 8, Cartagena, Spain

Tuesday 29th November 2016

Wow, there is some strange golden ball up in a blue sky.
So, to give the crowds time to clear, we had breakfast and quick quiz and got ready to venture ashore.

Cartagena
 
Started in the Naval Museum just along the harbour front from the ship’s berth.  Very interesting collection, lots of model ships, bits of ship, weapons, navigational instruments, paintings and photos etc.

Followed this up with a visit to the Roman Theatre and Museum.  A well preserved, if somewhat, though sympathetically, restored, example of a Roman Theatre.  Located right in the town centre, hidden for most of its history under various developments of commercial and residential buildings until “discovered” and brought back to life as a historical attraction.

Strolled back to the ship via the town nicely in time for afternoon tea.
After sailaway and another unsuccessful quiz we had a little dinner in the buffet’
The evenings entertainment was “La Danza” with the Cunard Singers and Dancers.
