Venice-Barcelona

 Venice to Barcelona. 2059 nm with wonderful ports and for the most part great tour guides. Excurions everyday made it a bit hectic to try to work in excursions (4-8 hours duration), enrichment lectures, cocktails, dinner, and a performance before bed. Early Get Go's (get up & go-Air Force term) made it challenging.

We're at 41°N in Barcelona. Stay tuned for news on that as we dive south to avoid a major storm.

It was on our Viking Sea cruise in Scandinavia and the Baltic in 2016 that we learned many ports have strict emissions standards and that it is fairly typical for ocean going vessels to bunker a low sulfur and a dirty, high sulfur, diesel. I found it of interest here in Barcelona there were two fuel lines of different diameters from the fuel barge to our ship.
