Day 230: Bruges, Belgium. Headed to Brussels for quick sightseeing walk before bday lunch at the Colonel (the Chateaubriand was off the charts) - waiting to hear Trump in Nashville - #Olympics were poisoned for me last night #UltimateWorldCruise
Day 229: Southampton, England. Took a bus to see the Stonehenge then lunch in Salisbury. Pretty cool but had to beg for a Snakebite and Black at the pub… #UltimateWorldCruise
Day 224: Cobh, Ireland. Brief ride around Cork before heading to kiss the Blarney Stone then the Jameson’s Distillery - bought #bitcoin instead of the whiskey. Sorry to see Cork lose the All-Ireland #hurling finals. #UltimateWorldCruise
Day 222: Vigo, Spain. Up through the old town maze to the Church, then coffee before the castle on the hill. Sold some gold at a local coin shop then bought some #bitcoin, lunch, and clothes while strolling with the Mrs on the way down to the ship. Great port. #UltimateWorldCruise
Day 220: Lisbon, Portugal. Hop on/off through parts of this colorful city - statues, monuments, tile facades, and traffic lights galore plus an elevator to no where…. #UltimateWorldCruise
Day 218: Agadir, Morocco. Big beach town but I don’t think I will ever understand the head to toe coverage women endure here (and elsewhere) - just why? #UltimateWorldCruise
Day 217: Casablanca, Morocco. We’re back in Africa for some reason... Bus up to the capital, Rabat where old meets new along the shore as they prepare to host the 2030 World Cup. #UltimateWorldCruise
Day 216: Malaga, Spain. Drove to Nerja to visit more caves and explore this gorgeous coastal village before returning to Malaga for lunch on the pier. #UltimateWorldCruise
Day 215: Cartagena, Spain. Up to the Castillo de la Concepcion - closed but great views of the city and the interior of the old amphitheater. Lunch then adios… #UltimateWorldCruise
Day 210: Toulon, France. Excursion to Aix-en-Provence to see the historic town, grab lunch, and follow the footsteps of painter Paul Cézanne who was born in Aix, grew up there, and returned later in life.
