Adventures of a part-time traveller.
Sailing on MSC Preziosa, September 2018
28 September 2018
Alex and I are sailing again after what feels like a long hiatus. We’re back on MSC in the wonderful Yacht Club, this time sailing with our good friends Glyn and Dorota who are cruising for the first time.
As we’re sailing with friends, this blog series will be abridged compared to my normal blogging, but will hopefully provide some interest!
We are sailing from Lisbon and calling at Barcelona, Marseille, Genoa, Malaga, and Casablanca.

Today we docked in Barcelona for our first port of call. Due to bad weather at sea our arrival was an hour later than planned. This meant we could enjoy another leisurely breakfast in La Palmeraie restaurant, and a dip in the hot tub before exploring the city.
29 September 2018
Today we visited Marseille in France where we endured a catastrophic shuttle bus, visited a church, and ate wonderful French pastries.
30 September 2018
Today we docked in Genoa, Italy where we enjoyed a walk around the city as well as some local Genoese food.

Today we had a day at sea where we relaxed on the sun deck, tackled the weekend crossword puzzles, and tried some room service pizza!
04 October 2018
Today we had a hot and sticky day in Malaga that once again exceeded my expectations, then enjoyed a smoke in the molecular bar!
🇲🇦 Casablanca, Morocco – 06 October 2018
In Casablanca we had an early start as we met with a private tour guide to explore Rabat and Casablanca. In the evening we had a special dining and entertainment treat!
