April 24-after another day at sea, we docked at Cadiz, Spain, which is just south of Seville. Cadiz is said to be the oldest continuously inhabited city in the Western world, dating back to 1100 BC, when the first Phoenician merchants landed here. It is a great city for walking and exploring, especially the narrow streets in the old town (barely wide enough for a small car to drive on-As a pedistrian you quite often have to step into a doorway to avoid them). Without the painted lines on the walkway to direct the tourist, it would be easy to get lost in their winding paths. It's also fairly compact, so it was easy to see the highlights in one day. No more time changes for awhile, thankfully. Weather is perfect, no rain yet, and no volcanic ash.
