17 viewsAfter I finished walking through the plaza, I had a couple of hours before I had to go back to the ship, so I took an hour long tour on this bus.

15 viewsYou will notice that there are lights in the background, and lots of people along the rails. That is because we are entering the Strait of Gilbraltar.

15 viewsThis particular bus tour didn't stop anywhere. It just drove around, and gave you a great feel for the city. I was the only one on the upper deck, and I had a fun time waving at people.

15 viewsThere is such beautiful architecture in Barcelona.

15 viewsAfter getting off of the bus, I looked for the Hard Rock Cafe. I love to visit them to gets gifts for the kids....okay, and for me, too.

15 viewsI had to go back through the plaza in order to get to the ship, so I found some more statues. These guys told me to come up and get a photo with them.

12 viewsMy favorite way of travelling is by cruise ship. A lot of people, particular those who haven't cruised before, ask me what it's like. One word: peaceful. This photo shows the open walkway around the ship. For the walkers and runners, it's marked off as to feet and miles so you know how far you have gone.

12 viewsWe docked in Barcelona for a few hours. It is really a beautiful city.

12 viewsThis was a pretty one, but once again, I marvelled at how still they were.

10 viewsI am boarding the Norwegian Dream for a transatlantic trip. It is also called a repositioning cruise. When the seasons change, many cruise ships change their itinerary. This ship went from going to the Caribbean to European capitals. These cruises aren't as expensive as others, but you don't see as many places.

10 viewsDepending on the length of the trip, they have B-B-Q lunches outside. There is nothing like being outside in the fresh air eating good ol' barbecued chicken.

10 viewsWe had a few hours to spend, so I decided to stroll along the plaza. There were all kinds of statues along the way. I went up to this one and was studying it when....it moved! Let's say, at this point, my under ware wasn't exactly dry! Wow! I didn't see THAT coming!

10 viewsHe was so adorable, but I rather felt sorry for him. He should be out running and playing with other doggies.

9 viewsEach cruise ship has a casino. I don't go there very often because I don't have very much luck. However, I found a quarter on the floor, and wound up winning $200.00. Yea! And, yes, I left with my winnings.

9 viewsThe next day it was cold and windy, but I still enjoyed being outside.

8 viewsMost people were at dinner when I took this shot. The buffets are open 24 hours, so sometimes I skip the dining room and just do the buffet. This is one of those peaceful times I mentioned.

8 viewsI'm doing my two of my favorite things. Reading a book, and eating chocolate chip cookies.

7 viewsIf I had seen this statue first, I would have recognized that they weren't real. I'll have to give them credit for standing a long time and not moving. Incredible.
|

7 viewsThe dog was the main attraction. While the owner played the music, the dog just sat there and didn't move....well, not much anyway.

5 viewsIf you like beautiful sunsets, you will see one after another on a cruise.
|
|
5 viewsI had an outside room, but no balcony. This ship didn't have them because of doing cross-Atlantic trips. The ocean can get pretty rough, and the last place you would want to be is on one of the balconies. In fact, if it gets really bad, they lock the doors that go out to the decks. Too easy for someone to get swept overboard.

3 viewsHands down, this one was my favorite.
