Europe

Hey so it turns out the first 4 months of my cruise were just about the worst 4 months anyone can ever experience in a royal caribbean cruise contract. Generally a cruise ship circuit will have less days at sea and much, much better ports. The ports we visited each week in the caribbean were entirely useless as places of cultural interest. They were set up as places to sell expensive jewelry to rich people and cheap souvenirs to everyone else. Now we are in places that could care less about tourists and are just there to be the excellent, amazing cities that they are. Good gravy I drank so much espresso today. Malaga, Spain is beeeautiful, beautiful beautiful. Much of the city is pedestrian only. Even the buildings that weren't centuries old churches and palaces were gorgeous and there were cafes serving espresso and sangria all over the place. No one was bugging me to buy cheap crappy trinkets or offering me cab rides to muggings. Eating an entire pizza by myself was like a religious experience after eating nothing but ship mess food for 9 days straight.
The best part about all of this is that the next three ports are also in spain; Cartagena, valencia, and barcelona. Huzzaaahhh!!!! This is why people work on cruise ships.
Alright I'm done ripping through my paycheck with internet. I'll try to write something better later. Byyye!
