Day 2 - Barcelona & Montserrat

Two days down! Yesterday (Monday) we had the day to spend roaming through Barcelona. The day started with everyone who was go on a tour to meet in the theatre. Two of the ships captains came in down by one of the front rows and pulled a worker from between the seats with a sheet wrapped around him.. apparently some of the workers went out in Barcelona the night before and he passed out in the theatre for the night! Unfortunately I wasn't quick enough with the camera!

The tour we did was a trip up in the mountains to Montserrat and then a driving tour through Barcelona. The drive up to Montserrat was nice... through the mountains, tight roads and nice scenery! We spent about 3hrs touring Montserrat... they had little shops and the church to see. We actually got to sit in on a 20min mass that they had, the had a really nice kids choir. After that we headed into Barcelona for a driving tour.. the guide on our bus gave us the history as we drove. It was nice to get a flavor of where April spent some time!

We got back to the ship around four.. ordered room service then passed out. We did get a nice alarm at six o'clock when the captain came on the intercom to announce the boat drill. So we woke up, grabbed our life jackets and headed to our meeting spot. After, we went back to sleep until eight or so.. the time change messed us up a little. Then we headed to the theatre for a show for a taste of things to come show. They had each of the ships acts perform a little something to give us a flavor of what to expect on our trip. We grabbed a bite to eat at the Mexican restaurant.. and met up with some people to hang out the rest of the night.

They day was pretty busy and non-stop so we're looking for to the day at sea today!

PS: The photos are from our point and shoot camera.. we'll have to show you the good ones when we get back!
