Day trip to Montserrat


What a fun day we had with new friends. Ten of us who met on Cruise Critic made the pilgrimage to Montserrat. Jack was our guide and did a wonderful job leading us through the metro and getting us on the right train.

We left the hotel at 9:00 this morning, found our way to the train station, bought the tickets, had breakfast and then caught the 10:36 train. The ride to the monastery took an hour and a half.

When we got there we took the cable car up. Once there we toured the museum, went to noon mass, toured the Basilica and had lunch. After lunch we rode the funicular up the mountain and hiked the trails to the top. The view was spectacular.
