Last port and last day of the cruise. Looks like it is going to be a hot day, so what better way to spend it than in a winery?? Up at 7am for breakfast in Blu.

Had a brief walk around the shops close to the port and saw local people setting up their market stalls to attract the cruise passengers. Back to the tourist office for pick up a...

People playing bowls on it. Light lunch, siesta and...
