A Day on the Ferry to Barcelona - Day 24

After a terrible sleep - AC full on and only worked out how to control it at 5am - we were up for our pre bought breakfast just after 9. Mmmm 2 terrible rolls, butter and jam, and a choice of sweet fruit juice which didn’t include orange as it was finished. A stroll around the deck and back to the cabin. And that was the agenda for the day! Not much to do, a very quiet ship but it is the biggest ship in the Grimaldi fleet - 254 metres long, 63,000 tonnes, and should operate as a cruise ferry - but almost nothing of that was happening. Empty pool, closed spa etc etc. post Covid, or end of holidays, we have no idea. But the ship was so empty of passengers.  

The only other thing to happen in the day was lunch, also pre bought for 15 euros each. No expectations BUT it was really tasty - 2 courses (lasagne, then a chicken stew, a glass of wine and an orange)





A virtually empty car deck



Finally with Katy having parked the car in a nearby garage
