Malaga 03/04/2014

We only had a short voyage overnight of about 70 nautical miles from Gibraltar to Malaga (Spain).  We docked today at 0800.  This was a short stop as we were due to leave at 1400 to go to Rome's port (Civitavecchia) some 850 nautical miles.  We are due to arrive there on Saturday 5th April at 0900.
Given our time here was short, we decided to only take a stroll around the city centre of Malaga.  A very clean city with a diverse mix of architecture both historical and new.
The weather wasn't particularly kind.  We had a forecast maximum of 15 degrees combined with very light showers and a 'lazy' breeze.  Short bursts of clear sky and sunlight presented some perfect lighting to pull off a few shots - so I did.
A little bit sad today as we said goodbye to our friends Christine and Jenny.  They disembarked today at Malaga to go onto the next leg of their trip which eventually takes them to the US.  We didn't do any touring as such.
I don't think my knee would have held up to much more anyway.  An easy afternoon with some stiff anti-inflammatory medication gives me some time to catch up on the blog and sorting photos.
Catch you tomorrow!!!
