Cadiz, Spain

Cadiz was a really pretty city. We walked to the main Cathedral in the city. The ceiling is starting to crumble, so they have put up nets to catch the pieces that fall off. It is a pretty building. We then walked to a castle. We took the long way there, but it was a pretty walk. We saw two really pretty parks on our way. The first castle we saw just had a lot of artwork in it. The buildings were pretty cool, but some of the artwork was weird. There was another castle next to it. To get out to that castle, we had to walk down this long path, with the sea on both sides of us. When we got to the castle, we found out you couldn't go in because they still used it for military purposes. So we had walked down that long path for nothing. We walked a lot while in the city. We ended up taking the bus back to the boat.


We returned to Cadiz a couple days later. Since we had already been there, we didn't get off the boat until later in the day. The first time we went we had seen that there was an underwater archeological museum, but it didn't open until 5pm. So on our second trip, we walked over to the building to see it. There wasn't much to see. Just a whole bunch of photos of the ocean and beaches. Cadiz was a beautiful city. It is the oldest city in Europe and legend has it that it was founded by Hercules.
