30 April

We took a shuttle bus from the ship to town, then – after a false start – found the Hop-a-bus for touristas and bought day passes. We rode one complete circuit to get our bearings, then struck out on foot to the cathedral, Picasso museum, a fort, and a castle. The cathedral was pretty, the fort and castle were way cool, and 99% of the stuff in the Picasso museum was just weird. If he'd been waiting for us to buy his stuff, he would have been thinner than Gandhi. The castle is on top of a big hill, so we rode the bus up and walked back down. Málaga is a really pretty city, very clean. Nice folks. We even habla'd a little Castellano with mixed results. They seemed to appreciate the effort. We left port about 2000 hrs, bound for Cartagena.
