her ear.
    “ Ugh..that just all seems so wrong!” Sally commented to a bemused Robert.
    “Now now dear, it might all be perfectly innocent!” He replied in a tone dripping with sarcasm.
    With the ‘odd couple’ gone; Sally and Robert returned to finishing their sandwiches, washed down with lots of bottled water; and headed off to enjoy Gaudi’s park.
    They spent the next two hours wandering aimlessly around the park, Sally in particular admiring the views around every twist and turn that the paths took them. Gaudi was famous for his unconventional building techniques, seeming to give ‘two fingers’ to conventional wisdom over what was acceptable and what was not.
    Robert was fairly conservative when it came to building practice, and although awed at times by what he seen; was mostly unimpressed by the sheer impracticality of the structures.
    “Just look at the railings on this bridge for instance – wrought in stone to look like branches from a tree – impressive work, but totally ridiculous!”
    “Oh Robert – don’t be such a bore!” Sally sniggered , as she grabbed hold of him for a cuddle. “You liked that cave structure we were in – despite the fact that there was not a straight pillar or wall anywhere to be seen!”
     
    Eventually they had finished their tour of the park; and headed on the long road back down the hill and through the city to the dock area; deciding to go via ‘Las Ramblas,’ Barcelona’s famous open air market.  
    The crowds were impressive, as was the traffic. Robert almost got knocked down by a scooter flying round a roundabout; and Sally narrowly avoided getting robbed. Fortunately Robert - who had been a little bit behind her – spotted the young lad as he was about to dip his hand into her open bag. A quick tap on the shoulder from Robert, and the boy simply disappeared into the crowd.
    They were exhausted but satisfied when they finally got back to the ship, the cool on-board air-conditioning particularly appreciated, as they headed back to their cabin. After a quick wash and freshen up, they decided to go for a wander along the shopping promenade.
    “How about a coffee and cake Robert? We don’t eat till 8.30 remember, and it’s only 5.30 now.”
    Robert managed to get a table at one of the café’s dotted along the promenade, as Sally went to order the coffee.
    “Robert! How nice to see you!” The husky voice of Melanie behind him, caused him to turn in his seat. Melanie was dressed in the shortest of skirts, with a bosom-hugging lemon t-shirt that complimented her impressive figure.
    “This woman doesn’t do anything by halves!” Robert thought to himself as he answered her. “Ah Melanie. Good to see you as well. John not around then?”
    “No he isn’t. He’s gone to see some old friend down in the Cocktail lounge ; no doubt to talk for hours about insurance and boring business!”
    Robert laughed, and Melanie seeing this as an invite; pulled up a chair.
    “So what about you Robert – are you all on your lonesome?” Melanie said, unable to hide the hope in her voice.”
    “ Em..ah, well no actually.” Robert stammered slightly, as Melanie’s dark blue eyes opened wide, suggesting an erotic alternative to sitting alone.
    Sally meanwhile, looked around from the counter where she was being served; and spotted Melanie giving Robert ‘The Look.’
    “I don’t bloody believe this; turn my back for a minute and that tramp is all over Robert like a bad rash!” She quickly picked up the tray and headed over.
    “Ah Melanie! How good to see you.” Said Sally in a tone of voice that made it obvious that it was nothing of the sort. 
    “Hi Sally!” Melanie said, in an innocent voice. I thought you had let your handsome man out on his own!”
    “Oh no Melanie – that would be far too dangerous; with some of the predators aboard this ship, who knows what would happen!”
    Robert winced at the inference, as the two women sized each other up. It was
