Cádiz revisited
June 18, 2018
Cádi, as the locals call it, left a good impression with me the last time I went (late 2015). Wanting to get out of Berlin for a few days and seeing that flights into Jerez were dirt-cheap, I decided to have a second look.
The weekend was fairly busy with heaps of visitors from the area flocking to the beach, but came Monday the crowds were gone. I really love Mondays by now.

Cádiz final
October 1, 2015
Joined a 2h walking tour today (free/by donation), learned a bit about the city’s history and picked up some fun facts along the way.
Napoleon never managed to conquer the city and when he finally retreated, he left behind his cannons. To this day they serve as “corner protectors” for the houses’ edges in the narrow alleys.
I had a really nice time here in Cádiz and it’s one of those places where I could imagine spending a little more time.

Cádiz

Cádiz, one of the oldest cities in Europe and surrounded on 3 3/4 sides by water is currently providing me with shelter within its ancient walls.
The old town is one of the nicest I’ve ever seen. The buildings are in good shape, free of satellite dishes and the alleys too narrow to park cars.
The place is rather affordable and a meal can be had for 4-5 Euros (small Cerveza included).

Trainee's Log, Sept 26th, Day 10
September 29, 2015
Finally, some sleep. My watch lead was kind enough to skip me for anchor watch and I got the night to myself. I’m far from well rested but definitely fitter than the days before.
The sea is dead quiet and we run on engine towards Cadiz. Arriving in port in the late afternoon it’s once again all-hands-on-deck. Mooring the ship takes almost an hour and the shower afterwards feels extremely good.
