Here Vigo, here Vigo!
Our arrival time today is not until 12 noon so there is time for the traditional Celebrity Sunday brunch. The central double height part of the dining room has been cleared of tables and replaced with displays of the most amazing array of food and drink. It is all beautifully laid out and very tasty.
It is the nicest day we have had so far the sky is blue and the sun is shining, a change for Vigo!
We watch the sail ...

A nice small city by the sea
After visiting Vigo I stopped at Pontevedra, a smaller, but enchanting city also on a ria or sound. I only had a short time as I wanted to get back to Santiago, which I'm now considering my home away from home for this trip, and feel at ease here.
