The "Empress" has cruised by today at 7pm - she is one of the Pullmantur cruise ships, adapted for the Spanish market. Inaugural voyage 1990 and carries 2,000 pax.

Greetings from Spain
I had a nice surprise to receive emails today from not one, but TWO of from my english friends living in Spain: Rona & Rick in Marbella and Lesley & Ron in Javea. Lovely to hear from both couples, and of course on a windy wet day in Dubrovnik I began reminiscing about my time in sunny Mallorca.

Almond Blossom ... in Spain
