TUI DISCOVERY 2 24th September 2017

Monday 25th September 2017

We arrived in Cadiz at 9.00 a.m. as scheduled and it was hot and sunny, how wonderful.  We are berthed alongside, right in the city.  Breakfast was next and then it was time to go ashore and walk in this ancient city.

As we disembarked from TUI DISCOVERY 2 we realised we were not alone in the port, as there were several other cruise ships around us.  




We decided to walk around and see them and take photographs.  Different ships of course have different home ports and itineraries, and it is always interesting to see something unexpected.  Today we could look at SILVER WIND and SIRENA,  as well as our lovely vessel.  We also saw the sign marking the Pilot Station, and then public maps of the city and also the cruise ships area.

Back at the terminal building we could leave the security zone and head into the ancient city of Cadiz.

Just a few steps into the main area I decided to look back over my shoulder and discovered DISCOVERY's funnel and logo right in my sights, which was fun.

We continued our walk admiring the many interesting buildings and sights on the way.  I noticed two in particular, enhanced by the sunshine.
