Our adventure began today. After packing and unpacking for 3 weeks since David's Sabbatical began, as well as preparing to be away from the flat for an extended period, we ordered a large van, and with our 9 cases plus 2 backpacks we made the arduous 20 minute ride to the Port of Barcelona to board the brand new Silver Ray. It's a duplicate to the Silver Nova, which we sailed on last year, so it was like coming home. It is stunning. A bit of caviar and our first Negroni and we were off!
