Thursday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day, in the early hours of the morning, we went through the Straights of Gibraltar. We went through here just after midnight.
The land was very close and there were lots of lights. This is a port city of Ksar Es Seghir…
As we went past this was looking back.
We are on the African side of the ship so didn’t get any photos of the British Gibraltar side, although twas Mike who was up on the deck taking photos. I went back to bed!
A small cruise passing by.
And this is Tangier…
So that was our experience of passing from the wild Atlantic into the calmness of the start of the Mediterranean Sea. Our current location…
There is quite a lot of mist – a very gloomy day. In the photo below it looks like there are hills on the coast but as we are 50km away, it’s most likely they are clouds.
Today Mike did some art…
And I did some work.
We are soaking up each moment of our penultimate sea day on the ship. Tomorrow is our last sea day for this cruise.
With all the nature that surrounds us, it’s easy to believe this…
Amos 4:13
He who forms the mountains, who creates the wind, and who reveals His thoughts to mankind, who turns dawn to darkness, and treads on the heights of the earth— the Lord God Almighty is His name.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
