We had a quick landfall at Praia del Vitoria... we had been here in July so just got the shuttle bus into town, walked though the high street down to the marina and then walked along the promenade back to the ship. It was crazy windy... I just thought one gust and we will be in the sea. Which is what happened to Dr Freds hat😂😂. It was a good walk in spite of being buffeted along. We stopped about half way and had a coffee and a sandwich in a nice bar with panoramic sea views. Once back in the ship I finished my latest novel - My Fathers House - by Joseph O'Conner. Excellent read, well recomended. The sail away party was noisy so we waved goodbye to land - 3 days at sea to Portsmouth. Those days passed surprisingly quick... chatting to guests, other speakers, watching a couple of shows because we had met the performers... I never quite made it back to art class - but had a really fab morning with the artist in residence playing withbger ...
